Have you ever gone on vacation and fantasized about tearing up your return ticket? Have you dreamed of quitting your job? Have you wondered what your life would be like on that path not chosen? What if you could run away to chase your dreams - without hitting the eject button on your regular life? You can do it. Even if you're pretty sure you can't. If you're longing for freedom and adventure, it's time for a mini sabbatical. Get all the benefits of travel and time away, simplified to help you to make your respite a reality. This book is the compass that will guide you, step by step, through the planning process and straight into new possibilities. Colleen Newvine draws on more than a decade of packing up with her husband, and sometimes their two cats, to live in places ranging from New Orleans and San Francisco to a cottage near the Atlantic Ocean on Long Island and three Costa Rican beach towns, then happily returning to her life in Brooklyn, New York. She's broken down the process into a no-nonsense guide to yes-you-can short-term escapes. Colleen is not only sharing her decade of invaluable wisdom. She's rounded up a diverse mix of fellow sabbatical travelers who share their own experiences and insights. You'll hear from people who: Worked remotely, traveled between jobs or took a formal sabbatical program. Stayed in one place or explored multiple locales. Visited domestic or international destinations. Traveled with their kids of various ages. Couch surfed, pet sat or won an artist residency to afford the experience. Worried you can't afford it? Or that your boss would never go for it? Thinking you can't do this because you have kids? Break free of all the reasons you think you can't take a sabbatical, and discover how just a month or two in a new place has changed people's lives forever. You'll get practical how-tos to help create a budget and get your boss and family on board, in addition to expert advice on how to give yourself permission to prioritize something besides productivity and responsibility. Whether you crave adventure, relaxation or creative pursuits, this book will inspire you to stop daydreaming and start doing. You don't have to quit your life. You can take an intermission. Quit your life temporarily. Early praise for "Your Mini Sabbatical" "Colleen is a you-need-a-break temptress of the best kind. She holds out for you a metaphorical plane ticket in these pages and gets you to grab that puppy and go! She's clever, fun, practical and gooses your butt a little so you actually DO it. A fantastic read!" Katie Goodman, comedian, actor, director, comedy writer, speaker, author, filmmaker "It has been a dream of mine to have mini sabbaticals -- it is a primary motivator in my life to travel and explore, and a reason for my being freelance. This book helps me unlock a big part of my life. I jumped straight into the finances chapter because I was not sure how I could afford a mini sabbatical. It showed me ways that it might be possible, and now I am excited to make a plan for a sabbatical!" Andrew Meissen, journalist
