Replying to Last Summer Before Work

I'm going to be graduating from my Master's program this upcoming May and am trying to figure out how I should spend the summer before I start my full time job in late August. 

I'm thinking I would really like to live somewhere new for about 2 months (currently live in Illinois).  I studied abroad a few years back, so I'm not sure that an intense 2-3 week Euro trip is what I'm looking for, but I would definitely consider living somewhere warm in Europe.  I'm wondering if any of you have done anything similar, or have spent a relatively short amount of time living somewhere over the summer that you you really enjoyed.
