Abstract
First paragraph: I'd had enough. It was October 2017, and I’d been wondering what the point of my job was for far too long, and while I’m sure there was something meaningful somewhere and to someone in what I was doing day-to-day, it had certainly lost meaning for me. For all the good that writing another academic research paper would do, I thought I might as well be cycling to Bhutan.

Keywords
Happiness; GDP; travel; academia; wellbeing; careers; beyond GDP;
