I this message to my friend Eden the other day:
Hey girl, I am thinking about how great it would be to take a year off from work, move to a low-cost country and learn as much design as possible. Maybe set up a business?I know it is completely unrealistic for me to even think about taking a gap year to learn things or set up a business. I have after all studied for way too long already. But maybe there is a chance I can start a creative business one day that would enable me to be independent of a specific location. For now I have to squeeze any private project into whatever is left of my free time in the evenings and weekends so I can learn and expand my portfolio.
The ideal would of course to be able to work, get enough time to do the fun and explorative design as well as earn some money. And I am starting to think it might not be so far fetched after all.
Have you ever thought about taking a gap year to fulfill your personal goals?
