Meet Plan Go

Have You Ever Dreamed of "Taking Time Off"?

Do you long to escape your cubicle and strike out to discover the world on your own terms? Is your dream for that "trip of a lifetime" still sitting on the back burner? If so, it's time to take action.

We invite YOU to join us on September 14th in a nationwide movement to raise awareness about career breaks and extended travel. We will be hosting a night of FREE Meet, Plan, Go! events with travel experts in major cities across the country.

At each event you will...

  • MEET inspirational speakers and like-minded travelers in your area.
  • Get motivation, contacts and resources necessary to PLAN the trip of a lifetime.
  • Start taking concrete steps forward and get ready to GO!
Despite being common in many countries such as Australia and the UK, career breaks, life sabbaticals, "gap years" and other forms of extended travel are not currently a Yankee birthright...but the Founders of Meet, Plan, Go! are on a mission to change that!

For years, books like Vagabonding by Rolf Potts and Tales of a Female Nomad by Rita Golden Gelman have inspired countless readers across the country to break out of their routine and travel the world. Then in 2006, Elizabeth Gilbert's memoir Eat, Pray, Love exploded onto the literary scene, becoming a runaway hit and opening up a wider conversation about Americans and long-term travel experiences. Many people found themselves waking up and asking, "Wait a minute...why haven't I ever taken time off? Where is MY gap year?!" Sound familiar? You're not alone...

At every event will be individuals who have fulfilled their own dreams of traveling around the world, or are currently in the planning stages. Their real-life stories include an understanding of the unique challenges that all long-term travelers must overcome in order to claim their freedom on the road and who appreciate the unbelievable triumphs of realizing one’s dream of an extended international adventure.

Whether you long for a career break, sabbatical, a spiritual sojourn, an extended global vagabonding experience or just a self-designed "gap year", we want to help you make it happen!
