Carving out the time for epic adventures was once the exclusive realm of academics, the idle rich and students looking to find themselves. But it is fast becoming a more realistic option for the rest of us. In part, changing demographics are responsible: Gen-X employees, who switch jobs and careers with far more frequency than their parents and elder siblings, are more comfortable with extended breaks between employments.
