What’s the best travel experience you’ve ever had?

r/

I’ve been thinking of taking a sabbatical for 6 month to a year just to travel. I want to do this cost effectively obviously in country(ies) that won’t entirely burn the bank. I know the economy right now isn’t great but I have some money saved up. Are there any trips here people recommend that really course corrected their lives? Feel like I’ve been living someone else’s life I.e. my parents and I’m officially laying in bed alone thinking wtf am I doing and where am I. Nobody contacts me expect my mom out of guilt I guess and my ex who wants to work things out with me.

    Going on a camping trip to ride mountain bikes in the middle of nowhere. No bullshit itineraries or plans. Just wake up, roll out of the tent, make some coffee, and hop on the mountain bike. 10/10.

    Basically every trip I’ve ever been on has been worthwhile and important. This includes everything from the cheesiest Disney trip to the times I spent in barns and hostels in Europe, Thailand, and central America. I’d say do some research about a place that intrigues you, learn about some frugal traveling tips (e.g. r/Shoestring/ and this thread) and go for as long as you can.
