Can’t Escape?
You’re stressed and heading for burnout. None of the self-help books are working. You’ve tried everything from meditation to medication but nothing’s working. It doesn’t matter how much you sleep, your body feels tired and your brain fried.
You know you need a break longer than just a holiday, but you care about your career and your colleagues. You’ve heard about sabbaticals, but don’t know anybody who’s taken one. Even if you had, you’d be letting people down, and your boss just won’t get it.
Even if you did want a break, where do you start? What happens to your house? Your car? Mrs Tibbles the moggie shorthair? And how much would it all cost anway?
Well the good news is you’re not alone. Thousands of people take sabbaticals every year and do so without hurting their careers, their relationships or their bank balance.
The Sabbatical Guide helps you through that journey, giving you practical tips, real-life stories and linking you in with a community just like you.

Work out how much a sabbatical will cost
I’m Ben
I gave my 20s to work, but something had to give. I’ve made some big changes, and in the last 5 years I’ve taken 3 sabbaticals and moved to a new country.
I’m not part of the ‘I quit my job to travel the world’ brigade, far from it. I love having the security of a career, but I don’t want to look back when I’m 80 have missed the rest of life.
I created this site because I found planning a sabbatical hard, as there simply wasn’t a single place to find all the tools I needed.
