Everyone saying, take a vacation, but most people can’t easily afford that. Can you risk it when you might go back, hole in your bank account, the burnout possibly not cured?

But a part time job, for a year or two, doing non software work? Especially something social and physical? That might be viable, if you can get your expenses down enough. But most jobs outside software pay so badly, you won’t be able to afford rent or proper food…

If you don't have a rental agreement in place, then the costs for travel is largely from flight travel. And many places locally are easy to fly for just several hundred $. If you have more of a budget, you can travel overseas in relatively cheap economic countries. It can be done if you plan accordingly within a budget.

Also helps if you are solo, and can cook. And I also think it's a great energy recharger and helped me when I was burnt out.
