There were a couple of points here in notes on a book about vagabondage that related to sabbaticals; one about negotiating for a sabbatical from work in order to have extended time for travel, and another about making work almost completely subordinate to one's travel-oriented lifestyle.
The Biblical pattern is Six On, One Off, with an extra One Year Off every 50th year. As I pointed out in my book on sabbatical rest, Israel's 70-year exile in Babylon was to make up for the sabbatical and jubilee years they had failed to observe over the centuries.
