Men's Journal: How to Take a Year Off

You don't often see mainstream magazines touting the virtues of vagabonding, so it's encouraging to see that this month's Men's Journal features a cover story entitled, "How to Take a Year Off", by Ethan Watters and Dean Latourrette.

This article, which mainly looks at the lives of a handful of men who've put work on hold to travel for a year or more, is not available online -- but here's a list of recommended online travel-sabbatical resources from the article:

• The Expat Life - Transitions Abroad
• Jobs Abroad - International Jobs Marketplace
• Volunteering - Cross-Cultural Solutions
• Doing Good - Center for Interim Programs
• Language Study - LanguagesAbroad.com

• Health - CDC Travelers' Health
