Haha maybe its a post-COVID thing but I, too, am also on a partially-paid 3-month sabbatical at the moment from work.

Seems like a lot of people are catching up from COVID or just simply burnt out from work and COVID life.

While I am not spending my entire time travelling, I did spend a month in Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Taiwan.

One of the best experiences in my life as it coincided with my brother getting married in HK, travelling with my parents for the first time since I was a kid, and getting to experience some really amazing sights and experiences like: a Helicopter tour of HK, Ha Long Bay cruise, etc.

My work does have a work-from-anywhere policy where we can work remotely from anywhere up to 1 month per year, as long as we have 3-hrs overlap with local work hours, however with responsibilities back home I haven't had a chance to use it myself.
