I'd like to learn more about sabbaticals. In recent discussions with friends (aged between 25-36, professionals, some with children, mostly without) and family, many of them indicated that they would be happy to leave for six months and return to the same job. However, they had no idea where to begin. 'Six months' got me thinking about a trip we did through the North and South Island of New Zealand during the first wave of COVID-19, and so I published a post about a potential sabbatical itinerary ...

I am seeking inspiration on the best ways to pitch yourself to a tourism board, travel company, or PR for traveling and writing. What are some best practices, tips, or recommendations?
