I've been wishing as a 29 y/o that I could find a way to take a year off from work without it financially ruining me, and spend that time both traveling and coding. I still have a lot to learn, but I've always had this burning desire to code deep down. It has manifested in building websites, but I want to dig deeper. I'm doing so to an extent, but with other obligations in life (mostly work), it ends up going on the back-burner more than I would like. I feel like I need a year of rearranging my life. A complete overhaul. Even if it's not all coding, but working for a non-profit or volunteering, doing other things that affect the world in positive ways, and/or traveling while doing these.

I have traveled before and it was great to see the world from a different perspective. I feel I need that again. Maybe call it an expensive empathy-building exercise.
