Quarter-Life Sabbatical Trend Among Millennials #

Amidst widespread layoffs, millennials are opting for a “quarter-life sabbatical” to explore their inner selves and travel the world. One individual, Peter Lancaster, who was laid off from his technology job, took advantage of the opportunity to embark on an eight-month journey to several countries, including Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Guatemala, Japan, Ecuador, and Brazil. Lancaster spent roughly $20,000, with transportation costs being his biggest expense. During his trip, he learned valuable lessons such as staying flexible, traveling light, being friendly, traveling smart, enjoying local cuisine, and appreciating the importance of work-life balance.
