Default What would you do with a Free year?

What would you do if you had a free year, all to yourself, to dedicate to whatever you wanted? Assume money was not a problem -- you've just received a £40,000 Siliconhell Grant.

Would you spend your year travelling? Reinventing yourself? Would you go back to school to reorient your career? Would you try to see every movie you ever wanted to see? Forget about crazy things like flying to the moon or whatever -- think about what you would really do, if you could spend a year doing something you really want to do.

Remember, you have to dedicate yourself to something. What would it be :?:

Thats a hard question. I think I would go to the countries I want to see, and then visit attractions in the UK. Then, I may just chill at home and buy new gadgets!!

I would do a lot of travelling....and use the rest of it to pamper myself ;-)

Pampering myself means a lot of shopping for myself, try out various kinds of body massages / exfoliating treatments ;-) ;-) and stay in expensive suites of star hotels.

Value has a value only if its value is valued

You misunderstand, it's not about the money, it's about what would you actualy do if you could dedicate a year :!:

Remember, you have to dedicate yourself to something :idea:

I'd like to live on a dessert island for a year

Those who know me may well be surprised by this, but, I'd like to get away from the hustle and bustle for a while.

Im know wondering if I really could survive without any techno gadgets :-?

I also quite fancy going "Walkabout" for a year (as in the Aboriginal sense of the word).
