G'day Fulton, With about two weeks left to finish your Christmas shopping, we've got gift ideas for the traveler in your life. Whether he or she is setting off on a round-the-world trip, taking a career break, heading back to a favorite destination, or trying to fit travel into life with a new baby, we've got gift ideas sure to please.
We're also excited to share Meet, Plan Go!'s announcement of their new Career Break Boot Camp online course. The biggest obstacle for most people considering longterm travel is the reaction of others - because society is not as accepting of unconventional ideas such as career breaks. So for those seeking a career break or sabbatical, it's not just about the trip planning - it's about the life planning. Boot Camp is an online course and social learning platform where people with the dreams of taking a career break or sabbatical to do extended travel can come together in a community learning environment. Sign-up starts today, and the first 20 people to register will get a $100 gift certificate for Unconventional Guides by Chris Guillebeau. Sign up for Boot Camp!
And don't forget, Passports with Purpose only has about $4,000 left to go for building a village in India!
Happy holidays!
The BootsnAll Crew
