Great post, but what comes in mind after reading this was, is it okay for you get a wee off from your job? I mean, wont they mind you're doing something else then working? One of my dreams is to do exactly like you, take a time from the work from time to time, or even have money enough to work during a trip, everyday from a country, but i do feel like there's no way that's gonna happen. I hope I'm wrong....

I'm lucky enough to work for a company where we get unlimited PTO, and we're actually encouraged to use it. If your company is well-managed, even taking a whole week off should be fine and your teammates won't mind covering you, because they know you'll cover them when it's their turn. That's what a healthy company looks like, and there are plenty of them out there, so you don't have to settle for less. I hope you find that too!
