Question

I need a long sabbatical to cleanse my soul.. got any recommendations?

Answer 1

a deserted island

Answer 2

We enjoyed Barcelona but I would avoid in the summer months.  We stayed 4 months.  An extended stay abroad is definitely what I'd recommend.

Answer 3

a walkabout - an ancient tradition of the Australian Aborigines - a spirit quest of sorts to find yourself.

Walkabout is an Australian term referring to the commonly-held belief that Australian Aborigines would "go walkabout" at the age of thirteen in the wilderness for six months as a rite of passage. In this practice they would trace the paths (the so-called songlines) that their people's ceremonial ancestors took and imitate, in a fashion, their heroic deeds.

Answer 4

Any isolated place would be excellent.  

The Island of Tristen De Cuna is fairly isolated.
