I've been happy to give you my witness vote and am now happy to see you choosing to do what you feel will bring you the greatest satisfaction in life. You've given a lot, and it is important for givers to also get good at prioritizing their own happiness.

I've recently "retired" myself, though from a completely different "job," and can totally understand the appeal of some years traveling. (Commitments to others are delaying that a bit for me.) Travel has a way of making it easier for us to discover new aspects of who we could be, if only because nothing is where we expect it to be and those we meet aren't all projecting the same well-worn patterns onto us.

If you've spent a lot of your life using talents you're good at using without feeling the joy of it, then what a wonderful phase to enter in which your only responsibility is to discover who you wish to be and become him. Bon voyage.
