A few days ago we shared our tips on how to convince your boss that a sabbatical is a good idea. Today, Another World Adventures would like to focus your attention on three epic long trips we feature which would be just right for extended time-out.

Going on a sabbatical or taking a career break may sound a scary decision, but with the right help it becomes easier thank you think. With this blog we hope you will find the right inspiration to make this life changing decision.

Sail Across the Atlantic Cape to Cape via Antarctica

If you have always dreamed of sailing across the Atlantic, this is just the right adventure travel for you. For 52 days you will be part of a crew and you will learn everything about sailing from the very basic stuff. You don’t need any experience to join the trip, just great enthusiasm. And by the end you will be an expert seafarer with incredible stories to tell your friends.

This ultimate epic long adventure trip will allow you to discover overlooked but beautiful lands. The journey starts in Ushuaia, Argentina, and from there you will sail to Antarctica, having the privilege of being one of the few human beings to have seen the glacial land and its wildlife.

From there, you will live another unique experience: visiting Tristan de Cunha. This is one of the most remote places in the world, a volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic, home of a small community that seldom receives visitors. After that, you will sail toward Cape Town, South Africa, where the journey ends.

To know more about this incredible adventure visit the trip page. We also feature many more sailing adventures, and specific trips for sailing across the Atlantic.

Ultimate Africa Overland Experience

This is one of our favourite epic long adventure trips, with 56 days full of adventure and a unique opportunity to get to know Africa like never before. The journey includes nine countries: South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.

During the journey, you will have plenty of chances to get to know different local communities and cultures. What’s more, you will discover amazing landscapes, including the famous Victoria Falls and Serengeti National Park. Finally, you will have multiple encounters with wild animals. To know more on how to make sure you respect animals well being, read our ethical animal tourism article.

The Ultimate Silk Road Adventure

This epic long trip is a 47 day road adventure from Beijing, China, to Istanbul, Turkey, through the ancient silk road, the first and most important route to put in contact West and East. During the journey you will visit China, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, and Turkey.

And on the way you will visit 15 UNESCO sites! Some of the most incredible things you’ll see include the Xiam’s Terracotta Army, the Toi Dek Pass (3,554m), and the 3,000 year old city of Osh.

But of course there is much more to discover, so have a look at the trip page. For similar adventures have a look at our Asia and Middle East destinations.

We believe epic long trips deserve equally epic quotes! We like what Mary Anne Radmacher said about travelling: “I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.”
