At Meet, Plan, Go! We Want A Career Break on Every Resume

This day of learning and bonding is for those who are serious about taking a break. We want the people who attend the event to GO! We believe so strongly in the value of long-term travel and Career Breaks in people’s lives. If you book, come to the event, and if you don’t not feel that it was worth it after the event is over, we will refund 100% of your ticket fee (Including the part that Eventbrite takes!)

Time Is The New Money

You can spend hours digging through the Internet to get your answers on how to plan your career break. Do you have time to spend hours on research and finding trusted resources?

You need resources you can trust and actually talk to face to face.

“The entire group at MPG made a career break sound so much more realistic and possible than just reading about other people’s experiences.” –NYC Attendee

Feeling Crazy?

Often the biggest hurdles people face when they are contemplating or planning a traveling career break is that they feel alone and crazy for following their dreams.

You will meet like-minded people with your same dream.

“We are two months into our RTW trip, currently in NZ. After we ‘hatched’ the idea of our journey, I searched the internet for other people as crazy as us; I found Meet, Plan, Go. Finding your site #1) Made me realize we weren’t completely loco and #2) Helped tremendously in the planning process. And….here we are, actually doing it!!” -JetSettingFools

Event Format

You will meet and learn from individuals who have fulfilled their own dreams of escaping their cube and traveling around the world. Their real-life career break stories include the unique challenges that all long-term travelers must overcome in order to break free. They will not only provide you with inspiration, but also tips on how they did it, travel planning resources, and answers to your questions.

This full day event will provide you with ample time to get your planning questions answered personally, and more importantly build relationships with others with your similar career break travel goals. There will be presentations and experts there to discuss

Getting over your fears
Planning your break (budgeting, itinerary, volunteering, insurance, packing, working on the road, getting local, lodging, airfare, and more)
How to market your travels into your job search when you return

Plus, in our break out groups you will be able to talk to travel experts and walk away with resources on specific areas of travel planning, travel modes, and travel options.
