Six months is just about enough time off that you really start to miss working.
I'd actually recommend setting off with the goal of staying on the road for an entire year. Just travel. Nothing else. Not even a laptop along.
The cool thing about doing it this way is that you won't make it. You'll have the time of your life for 6 months or so, but then a little voice in the back of your head will start asking for more. 8 months in, your brain will just be crying out for stimulation that it can't get from figuring out which local bus to take from here to there. You'll need to work. You'll go out of your way to find a new project, to the point where you'll book a flight home so that you can get moving now.
That's what you need to recenter yourself. If you just take a month-long break, you'll never truly get off your starting point, so you won't end up where you need to be.
