would you leave for a year to live somewhere else?

Who is supposed to take care of my place while I'm gone?

 

This thread was started in 2007 I think they will be well back now

 

Yes I have done that, went to Cambodia spent 15 months in a self funded volunteer capacity in my field of diagnostic medicine assisting and teaching their people.
It was the most challenging and rewarding experience in my life but the personal financial cost of loss of income for that period was significant but in my mind still worth it.
