&gt; <i>You have a pile of saving and a severance package.</i><p>You might also have a family whose food, shelter, education and medical care still need to be paid for. And even if you&#x27;re a single person in your twenties, you might want to use that pile of savings for your retirement (or to buy a home in the future) instead of impulsively blowing it on a wild trip.

Alternatively, work at defining the next step of your career. Work no more than 6 hours per day on this, you are likely stressed, include rest in your cycle.<p>Network extensively, habitually.

&gt;You&#x27;re in IT right?<p>Nope<p>&gt;Just book a flight to Bangkok bro are you kidding me? Go have a beer<p>First of all Chiang Mai is better and secondly this one-size-fits-all advise is not going to help most people get back on their feet.
