Please be a little specific in your plan, not just “travel”. Where do you want to travel ?

    My question to anyone able to answer this: how can you afford to take a sabbatical period??? I can’t even afford to take a weeks vacation. It would wreck me financially not receiving pay for a whole week. Let alone a year??? What’s going on in this thread?

      I’ve been saving 30-40% of my salary each month for years, it helps not going outside because you don’t like people and watching movies and playing video games. And eating ramen

      step 1 : have a career

      step 2 : don’t spend that much money, building up savings

      step 3 : time is money, therefore, money is time.

      step 4 : be very, very frugal during your time with no work. I ate a lot of protein powder, eggs and pasta

      There are some platforms like World Packers where you receive free food and a bed for helping out in places. But I guess that still doesn’t cover travel, insurance, debt, and any other long term payments you might have to make
