What’d you do in your sabbaticals?



Mostly wood and metal working, reading a bunch, traveling, farming/gardening, hanging out with my wife and kid, rock climbing, kayaking, long distance running and learning for the sake of learning. I’ve considered doing wood/metal working full time but I wouldn’t make nearly as much money and my family would have to settle for a lower quality of living.


I would love to have a small farm. It's just not economically possible without another job to get benefits through. I hope to do this as a retirement job. I fear I won't be in physical shape by that age though. Not to mention my wife doesn't want to.
