I had a year off in 2014.

I did many things.

Open source work for Firefox, game development, pursued a master degree, sleeping til noon, biking through the country side, and so on.

I think, having at least some kind of a plan is a good idea. But I wouldn't grip it too tight. Life is full of opportunities, and ignoring them, because "you said you will do something different" can hurt you in the long run.
