For many years I would make sure to take at least a full week vacation every six months and if I could manage it, every 4 months. This was more manageble during the years that I have worked for myself. Since one week every year was usually dedicated to a volunteer project, and I have always worked my azz off doing what I do, this was my burnout control system. Not foolproof by any means. Trust me. I can still fry. Fast, especially if I am pulling insane hours at holiday season. But in any case, I learned to plan vacations in a different way for me. Sightseeing and such always wound up being about the food anyway, so I just got more intentional about it.
For anyone who has not been to Napa and Sonoma wine country, please put it on your list for the future. This is one of the best regions for foodies in America. Not to be missed.

There are several locations in America that are now on my list - for food, sightseeing and people. Normally my travels aren't based on anyones influence but that may change. I think I am trying to strike balance between intentional trip planning and free spirit wandering.
I backpacked for years all over Canada. Weeks, months, years at a time even. My biggest thing right now is to have a place to come back to. There are lots of ideas how I can manage to make it all work, thanks to a special friend or two.
