i was laid off back in feb 2018. i decided to travel, volunteer, and manage my money full time. fast forward 1.5yrs--I'm kinda bored, and want to apply. my hurdle is how to get interviews with that gap on my resume? love to get your thoughts, strategies. thanks.

Enjoy being free, unless there’s a specific type of thing you can only get satisfaction from by joining a large organization (hey, I get it, big data is bigger fun with bigger data sets, I know some of the finance stuff must have similar analogies).
Or if it’s for needing that amount of income, see if you can do what you want to do independently, or with just applying to places you want to work, and giving all the interviews your best shot: you can explain you took a break from work if they ask about the break in work, no biggie.
