Before I talk about my Dream Year Off, I want to reply to the anonymous post content itself:
Should you take time off? That really depends on your situation.
If you're feeling burned out or in an unhappy state and have savings to fall back on, then it would definitely be good for the soul to take some time off. But if you're the type of person who prefers to stay busy (I'm this guy), or you have bills due at the end of the month - well then it's probably better to find the next role.
Now, onto the fun part:
If I had a year off from full-time employment, you'll find me nomad'ing across the world, soaking up new experiences. I'd go spend 3-6 months in East Asia, floating between Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, and other tourist hot-spots in the region. Depending on the timing of the year, I'd either go to Europe or South Africa next, and look at spending some time in South America.
