Questionnaire

For best results, please print our PDF – click here.

The questionnaire is designed to help you focus on some areas you will want to consider as you explore the idea of taking time away. Most people never get to think about what they would do if the had the time – so go for it. This questionnaire is a way to begin the process. Think about what you enjoy; how you like to spend your time, what you want to explore, what you will probably never get to do again or what you might want to do in the future (experience is not a prerequisite for most options).  Add anything else you feel is pertinent.  Please print clearly.
