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:

• Getting Started – GoAbroad.com
• The Expat Life – Transitions Abroad
• Jobs Abroad – International Jobs Marketplace
• Volunteering – Cross-Cultural Solutions
• Doing Good – Center for Interim Programs
• Language Study – LanguagesAbroad.com
• Funding – The Foundation Center
• Health – CDC Travelers’ Health
