Imagine a crackling fire as you and a few friends make s’moreson a breezy summer night in July. There’s a clear night sky above you, as you can easily point out the big dipper without any city lights to pollute the view. Whether you’re by a lake, mountain, or simply in a quaint log cabin – you should plan a weekend trip away this summer.
A weekend away can work wonders, for everyone involved. It is a chance to refresh yourself and feel brand new. If you go with friends, it is a great time to unleash and have fun and bond with one another; plus, if you go with family, then it’s great to have quality time with those closest to you.
Beautiful scenery
Right now, you’ve adjusted to your surroundings back at home. Time spent away can not only refresh your sense, but it can also help you feel more strongly about your home environment when you finally return. Make sure to choose a place surrounded by beautiful nature. Opt for views of lakes and mountains, or if you’re more of a beach lover, find a place to stay on the beachfront.
Spend time with friends or family
Previously mentioned, but going away with friends and family is a great way to spend quality time with one another. Life gets busy, but spending time with your loved ones will always make you feel happy. All pile into a car and drive to a destination together. Get a place with a firepit, BBQ and large garden, and unwind with good company, good food and spectacular wine.
Relax
The number one reason to have a weekend away is so that you can relax. Vacations are made for people to leave feeling happy and ready for the lives back home. Therefore, make sure you choose a destination and accommodation that will have you leaving brand new again. Being able to relax is important; in fact, relaxing could make you a genius thanks to its ability to induce creativity.
Long-haul vacations aren’t made for weekend getaways, so be sure to look closer to home. A short 1-hour flight to somewhere new is no hassle at all, however, a five-hour flight could leave you feeling more tired than anything. If you’re blessed to have a second home somewhere, then be sure to use this to your advantage. For instance, prepare your summer cottage beforehand by hiring a local mosquito extermination company to check out the property, so that when you arrive, there’s no risk of being bitten in the night. You should also hire a gardener to prepare the garden.
Focus on your hobbies
A weekend away can be great for your creativity, but it’s also a great place for you to reconnect with some hobbies you may have forgotten. If you want to get back into painting, then travel somewhere with great views you can paint onto a canvas. If sports is more your thing, then go away with some friends so that you can indulge in a game of gold or even cricket. Whether your hobby is painting, photography, writing, yoga, or anything else, your vacation time is the perfect opportunity to do more of it.
