> Despite all of this, I still just feel like I want jump in my car and drive around the country for a few months. I want to get out. I miss having adventures.

If you don't have any responsibilities besides yourself, then why not. If you're good at what you do I'm sure they would give you a 3 month leave, or let you work remote on the road.

I did it when I was 27. No ragrets. Bought an RV and saw 36 states in around 4 months. Did a lot of hiking, biking, and sightseeing. I was working remotely during the time as well, had an unlimited verizon hotspot which worked great in 95% of places (had to plan ahead a bit). After the 4 months I was pretty much over it but so far I consider it my best life experience.

I have a girlfriend/soon to be wife that can't really go with me and I'd feel really bad stepping out of her life for a few months.

I guess it could be something where I take a few months off and do a few days at home and then a week or so on the road and then a few days at home, etc.

My girlfriend (now wife) went with me... she was the one that pushed me to do it, otherwise I probably wouldn't have done it myself. It took a lot of convincing. She was WFH so it didn't disrupt either of our work lives really. The stars aligned, most people don't have the opportunity.

What stops her going with you? If work, can she get any time off? Roughly where are you based?
