INTRODUCING
THE ADVENTURAS SABBATICAL
You’re taking this trip so it can change your life. Most people come back wondering why it didn’t.
You spend months traveling the world and come home basically the same person. The places were right. The experience was real. You do feel different, just not as changed as you were expecting. Then you fall right back into the same life you thought you were leaving behind.
The Adventuras Sabbatical is the method that maps out what makes a long-term trip actually transformational. It walks you through designing your trip so you come back as the person you went looking for when you left.

INTRODUCING
THE ADVENTURAS SABBATICAL
STOP CONSUMING.
START PARTICIPATING.
If you’re thinking at least one of these:
🔺 “I want to do so much on this trip, but I have no idea how to make it all work.”
🔺 “I know I need a real reset — not just a vacation — but I don’t know how to actually make that happen.”
🔺 “I’ve been putting it off because the planning feels overwhelming and I don’t know where to start.”
🔺 “I’m afraid I’ll spend all this time and money and come back exactly the same.”
🔺 “I didn’t realize my sabbatical could actually change the direction of my life.”
Then The Adventuras Sabbatical was written for you.
Bailey Lammon leads a new wave of sabbatical design that guides you through a sabbatical that actually transforms your time off into something meaningful.
You've dreamed of a trip around the world but you're already exhausted. You want something life altering but you don't know where to start. You probably think the best thing you can do is just take the time off until you feel rested, and then you'll plan the next step.
This book is the how-to guide for designing your career break with rest, adventure, and growth in mind.
The Most Common Sabbatical Mistakes Come in Four Flavors.
You under-plan it. Book the flight, figure the rest out later. Half the sabbatical goes to obligations you meant to drop and the other half turns into decision fatigue and wasted opportunity.
You over-plan it. Every night booked, every day scripted. You come home with a completed itinerary, a full camera roll, and nothing that touched you.
You build it around destinations. Twelve countries in four months. The list gets longer and you stay exactly the same. Places do not change people on their own.
The planning becomes a second job. Visas, routing, accommodation bookings over and over again. You negotiated time away from work and now operations are a part-time job.
Trust me, I thought the one-way plane ticket was the answer too.
Back in 2019, I had my soul crushed by the corporate world which left me burnt out, depressed, and completely unsure of my life. While standing on the summit of a mountain, an epiphany struck me like lightening and it told me that traveling the world was going to be the next chapter of my life.
I believed that if I bought a one-way plane ticket and traveled around the world that I would "find myself" and return to become the person I was meant to be. Travel was going to solve all my problems.
Six months of preparation later, off I went. Besides dealing with a global pandemic alone and abroad for the first half of the trip, I still managed to have the time of my life.
After 10-months abroad, I returned home for Christmas and I struggled - hard. It was one of the most difficult and most uncomfortable moments of my life.
Not only was I was having a hard time navigating reverse culture shock, but I had gone through this experience that I had no way of explaining to anyone and I wasn't any closer to knowing what the next step in my life was supposed to be. I didn't feel like I had quite figured it out.
I thought that was supposed to be the trick. Go on the trip and reap the rewards. But I left with no direction and I returned with even less.
Luckily, I was only 24 at the time, had no responsibilities, a retirement savings account with enough money to last me another year, and nothing to lose.
So I left again. A second year would surely do it, right?
By the end of the second year I had run out of money and still didn't know what I was supposed to do with my life.
So I started picking up small online jobs and ended up stumbling into the travel industry thanks to my experience on the road full time for two years.
Later, I founded my company after an inspiring family hired me to help them prepare for their departure and to manage the logistics for their one-year trip. It matched my skill set and I definitely had knowledge to share. But they fired me after four months because I wasn't able to help them any more than they could help themselves.
Time went on and I continued to travel, completely immersed in the world of long-term international travel. I was meeting more long-term travelers along the way and more people were hiring me to plan their trips.
I got better and better at planning travel but something was still missing. Some clients were definitely changing throughout their trips, but some more than others. I was definitely changing throughout these years too. But frankly, it didn't feel like it was on purpose.
So in 2024 I was burning myself out all over again with unaligned clients and a vision for my company that was simply not where I wanted it to be. When I had the opportunity to take another career break, I jumped at it. I stepped back into my company after two months off. That time was everything I needed to rethink the purpose of my company and put new perspective on what I was actually trying to accomplish with it. That's when things started to click.
By that time, I knew the power of travel. I could feel it, I could see it, and I heard about it from all my traveler friends. So I started paying attention to the patterns.
Another year and another couple of clients came and successfully went before it really clicked.
It wasn't until I had five years of travel and multiple long-term clients before I had finally cracked the code.
A plane ticket gets you somewhere new. That’s it. The rest depends on how you design the trip, the kind of adventures you go on, and the intentions you carry into it all.
Travel is transformational and some people stumble into the right ways, but it's not just because we're taking them and you have to be very lucky to stumble into the right mix of very specific kinds of activities that rewired us, and each in their own way.
I wrote this book because I don't want you to have to spend five years figuring it out. You only have a few months to get it right before you have to be back in your "regular life" with your fun had and your sh*t figured out. I have the code now, and I want to share it with you.
So, will this book work for you?
If you’re a successful, responsible adult, with commitments and a life path you can't just walk away from – but you still crave an adventure that's going to give you the rest, fun, and growth that you need for the next phase of your life – then yes. This book will work for you.
The Change
After a long period of searching and working with people on around-the-world trips, something unexpected became clear:
A plane ticket gets you to a new place, but it doesn't get you anywhere different inside yourself. That requires intention and a series of well-rounded experiences.

Why I Created This Program
Most people think a big trip will change them. It won't -- not by default. Where you go matters far less than which experiences you stack, how they combine, and when each one happens inside the journey. It took me five years and a lot of getting it wrong to figure that out. This book hands you the formula, so your sabbatical actually does what you're hoping it will: send you home rested, clearer, and ready for the next phase of your life -- without losing years to trial and error.
What You'll Discover Inside
1. Why traditional around-the-world trips often fail.
How to avoid the 3 most common traps.
2. How to plan your trip without getting overwhelmed.
Expert tips and tricks.
3. Why international travel accelerates transformation.
The magic that exists outside your everyday environment.
4. The science of rest and why it must come first.
When and how to rest.
5. How to blend thrill-seeking adventure with deep cultural immersion.
The art of adventure without burnout.
6. Why volunteering and service are critical to personal transformation.
How to mix in the secret sauce of a truly transformative trip.
7. The biggest mistake people make when planning travel (and how to fix it).
It's not always what you think.
8. How to return home with clarity, confidence, and renewed purpose.
Steps on reintegration and moving forward.
Is This Right For You?
This is for you if:
You're a high performer running on empty.
You've dreamed of traveling but it's overwhelming to plan such a big trip.
You want more than a vacation. You want change.
You don't want to uproot your life, but you know it's time to get away for a while.
This is NOT for you if:
You want to escape without connecting.
You only want to party and disassociate.
You treat travel like a checklist instead of a meaningful experience.
