If I go backpacking around the world (my 1st choice):
You Need Adventure
You need change, excitement, and thrills in your life. You can't stand being bored.
You crave new experiences... big experiences. You are big on taking risks.
Staying stimulated is crucial for your happiness. If you don't have enough to do, you tend to cause drama.
If you can harness the way, you are a visionary leader. You are ready to charge ahead into the future.
If I quit my job (which would probably be a first step prior to going backpacking around the world, but sounds less exciting without the backpacking around the world follow-up):
You Need Freedom
You need to have full control of your life. You must make your own choices and decisions.
Your confidence and self-esteem comes from being independent. It's very important that no one tells you what to do.
You don't do well with rules, responsibilities, or commitment. You're not flaky, but you do need flexibility.
You may not always exercise your freedom, but you need to know it's there. Just feeling constrained constrains you.
