I'd like to find something that would be more of a stretch for me, something that takes me further outside my comfort zone and pushes me into a new realm of experience, something that's more of a sharp turn as opposed to an extension of what I'm already doing.
Visit one(!) foreign country for 30 days. Go away from the tourist-stuff and live with the normal people (hitchhiking or couchsurfing is a nice way to get in touch with the every-day-people). I did it once (for 28 days) and it was a real eye-opener for me. I learned so much about my own country/life, I would have never known otherwise.
I see this is a hard challenge while you have two kids at home, but i would definitely love to read your experiences in a lets say 30-days-Russia trial And it for sure takes you out of your comfort zone.
