There’s no denying the joy of two weeks lying on a beach, with no plans beyond reading that novel and drinking cocktails. But if you want to actively improve yourself (and who doesn’t?) there’s a lot to be said for leaving your lounger and taking steps to be a better you.
What if you came home with more than just a tan? What if you came back with an expanded mind, a new skill, enhanced fitness, or a different outlook on life? What if your break wasn’t just a holiday, but a life-changing experience?
Pick up your PADI in Thailand, learn Spanish in South America, join a business bootcamp in Bali or take a medical internship in Africa. You’ll be broadening your horizons while exploring some of the most epic locations on Earth.
