I just finished a sabbatical where I studied Spanish, traveled around the world, and danced bachata for six months.
I feel many mixed emotions after my adventure: content, accomplished, and totally exhausted, Not an emotion but I’ll add a little bit broke to the mix.
But similar to my chess sabbatical, I had an incredible amount of personal growth and adventure. When I’m 80 years old and I look back on this adventure, I’d have no regrets, and I consider that a successful journey.
I tried my best to sum up my bachata sabbatical in a 10-min article. Enjoy!
