I have a GDoc with things-I-want-to-do in the Bay Area! I would be excited to do these with friends, so please see if you’d be interested in joining me to do any of these!

I’m worried about how best to address my burnout before my OPT unemployment ends in mid-August and I would appreciate suggestions for any of the below approaches
- In one month, make a really concerted effort to tackle my burn-out. This may include
- going on a short nature retreat (is there some way I can do this for ~free?)
- doing Focusing (who can teach me?)
- cuddle sessions (I should probably schedule these)
- going nuclear (i.e., withdraw from EA for the month)
- Leave the US until I’m ready to work
Really undesirable because I like the people and environment here! Possibly mitigated if I can actually come up with things I’d be excited to do. Less likely: staying with my parents. More likely: staying with my friends
Soooo is there anyone who’d be willing to let me stay at theirs for ~.5-1 month? I imagine the UK is going to be the likeliest candidate
