Sabbatical – Taking a career break

A sabbatical is a temporary break from work which may last from several weeks up to a year and even longer. When pressure of work leads to strain and distress, such a break may be a suitable means to prevent health risks: to distance oneself, gather strength and return back to your job full of new energy and motivation – something that not only you but also your employer will benefit from. Especially traveling abroad and voluntary commitment are popular ways to spend a sabbatical. At Natucate we combine these aspects and enable you to experience an unforgettable career break in nature.
