If you want to come back into the same biz (porn) then I think selling everything now sounds like a completely stupid idea (sorry!). I know from my break of just 8 months (in which I kept my main site sorta going) how hard it is to break back in; people might probably still remember you, but to get into contact with them is already the first headache...

On the other hand: this is a great opportunity! And if it's what you feel like then go for it! And who knows: it could very well be so lifechanging that you come home with completely different ideas for your future life! And if you have the chance to put some 10,000 Bucks (or so) aside to start whatever you feel like upon return - even better... So if selling everything allows you a polster to re-start, then my vote is still YES!

Cutting all ties has big advantages, not least of all that it frees you up to follow whatever crosses your way! And SriLanka might actually offer several opportunities to do something completely different: become a partner in some tourism venture, or import art and craft from there, or jewelry (great silver works there, better quality than in India), who knows...

I've been there several times: I had a number of different businesses, all of which I sold simply because either I got bored with the repetative side of them, or my personal circumstances demanded a change (falling in love was a reason once or twice, and people called me crazy for that!). The last big step was moving permanently from Germany to Australia, and no regrets (except that I gave up my EU citizenship).
