Just to add from my experience, it's generally reasonably easy to negotiate more unpaid leave during slow times if you have an additional professional development rationale behind it-- so if you can find a conference or interesting volunteer opportunity in a place you want to visit anyway, that would be a great way to sell your employer on giving you the time you need to go wherever you want.

The topic should definitely only be approached once your value to the employer has been firmly established , preferably once a job offer has been made. You can set up a meeting to discuss the compensation package and be well prepared with your proposal for extra vacation time/flexi time. Have your facts and figures ready and practice presenting it to a prospective employer. <a href="http://www.best-job-interview.com/negotiating-salary.html" rel="nofollow">Negotiating Your Package</a>.
