How to take a sabbatical year and hit the open road
How I did it: At the beginning of December 2007, I sent word to a list I belong to and asked how many people would be willing host me in Australia. Some friends and people responded so I bought myself a ticket and flew to Sydney the day after X-mas day, where I was warmly and royally welcomed.
Lessons & tips: I stayed with families and was provided with a much better insight into the culture and way of living than if I had stayed as a tourist at a hotel. I also used microblogging (Twitter) to arrange meetings with edubloggers at different locations.
Resources: As I was on the road for 40 days, hopping from place to place, a mobile phone, SMS and Twitter were very helpful.
