I did this in 2013. I not only quit my job, but my life. I packed up my entire apartment in a uhaul and dropped it off at goodwill. I packed a backpack and bounced around a handful of pacific countries for a few months (Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan). Moved across the country to San Diego after I got back and started from scratch. Then after a year of working I took another 3 months and backpacked around Europe.It's by far the best decision I've ever made. I had no objective and was completely fulfilled. My subsequent attempts at starting a location-independent business so that I could continue traveling indefinitely failed, or I might still be out there.
