Ditch the desk for a while – your sabbatical calls. Step out, breathe, reconnect with family or find yourself. Dive deep and broaden your world.

Who can take a sabbatical? See whether you fall into these five main categories:

• Are you in Law or Accountancy? You may have a clause in your contract allowing you to take from a month to a year off, sometimes paid.
• Does your company have a policy? Companies are increasingly embracing the sabbatical trend. Many have contractual provisions for taking unpaid time off, although they often keep them quiet! Re-read the small print.
• Are you retired? Now is the time to see the world at your own pace. LiNGER can fully tailor your time away to your interests and level of activity.
• Are you in-between jobs? If on gardening leave or if you’ve just sold a business, take the time to travel.
• Can you work remotely? If your work is flexible, join the Digital Nomad movement and do it from abroad. Kids’ summer vacations are a great time to get away for longer. Or take the plunge: LiNGER has planned year-long sabbaticals across the world for families of working parents with children.
