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 (https://knownomad.substack.com/p/what-does-a-sabbatical-actually-look), but I'd like to add more depth to the conversation and provide some proper guidance.
👉 If you have taken a sabbatical and returned to the same place of work (or a different one), I'd like to hear about the process you followed, the challenges you faced and how you felt returning to work.
Thanks for your comments and feedback!
Comments
If you are running a travel or tourism related survey, or would like to contribute to other people's research, then this thread is for you.
👉 Share your survey as a comment (above) in exactly this format:
1. The title of your survey
2. One paragraph introducing yourself and your survey
3. A link to your survey
Be sure to have a completed profile, too.
We will remove any low-quality or off-topic links.
PS: You might be wondering "why can't I just post MY survey as a new discussion?".
The simple answer is that surveys don't meet our editorial guidelines (see www.travelmassive.com/pages/post-guide). Over the years we've found most surveys are for commercial purposes, and researchers don't share their findings.
The title of the survey: The motivation of digital nomads to contribute to the communities they visit
Hi, I'm Rudi, a tourism consultant, Fairbnb.coop member and Web3 content creator. I'm writing my master's thesis in which I want to explore the motivation of digital nomads to contribute to the communities they visit. With your thoughtful contribution to this survey, you're helping us gain important insights and learnings about how we can be more inclusive and sensitive to the destinations we visit. If you consider yourself a digital nomad or remote worker, please take 10 mins to fill out the survey.

1. Generative AI's impact on the travel industry
2. I launched this short 1-minute survey with the objective of better understanding what travel industry professionals think about what the impact of generative AI will have on the sector. If you have 1 minute, I'd very much appreciate your input. I will share the results in a week or two.
