Do you have an idea on what area you would do your PhD in?
Do you think that if someone is apprehensive about travelling for awhile after grad, that you would recommend a transitional period to explore ideas and not jump into any commitments? Which kind of feels as though it is an implicit side effect of going travelling for awhile.
I think what I'm saying is a 2-4 week holiday is a good way to test if you like travelling, and what sort of travelling you like. If you don't like travelling as in constantly moving, maybe a holiday in once place for a while might give you the cultural experience without all the hassles. Depends on what you like. I've met people doing back to back organised tours for months, not sure how they do that without going mad!
Ahh I see, yeah makes sense and can vary between people for sure :)
