There has been a great deal of study on the relevance of using vacation days you receive over your work life. These are paid work days that allow you to use them for whatever reason you want to. Bring the vacation vibe in on a Friday with a chair massage! Many people save them up and will take long periods of time away from work, to plan a nice getaway for them and their family. There are many different possibilities you can use your vacation days with, it might be hard to find a way you want to use them. I will be discussing a few of the do’s and don’t s of vacation getaway choices and what you should be looking for.
Come up with a board and list all of the places that you want to visit. Then, have the members of your family do the same. In the end, you should have a giant list of everyone’s top choices for vacation spots. From here, you now have to narrow down these results. The best way to narrow down the results is to eliminate all options you have been to before. While they may be fun vacation spots, it’s been proven that going to a new, exotic place has been shown to open you up to more experiences.
When you and your family are in a brand new environment, you can really experience the area and understand the culture. You are also able to put your mind in a place that’s not as achievable when you visit regular vacation hot spots like a family cabin or a lake resort. So make sure to remove all of those options on your vacation idea board that won’t bring you the same type of creative thinking that, let’s say a trip to Paris might.
Once your list is shortened, take everyone’s ideas and look for a similar pattern among them. Look at everyone’s top ideas and go off of a voting system to find out where you’re going. You can also make compromises depending on the places that are chosen. If someone wants to go to China and the other wants to go to South Korea, you could possibly plan a one-day tour to visit South Korea as well. In the end, it’s all about compromises and being able to choose a brand new area to spend those vacation days on.
People who spend time in brand-new locations have reported they were in a state of mind that they have never been in previously. Visiting a new and different place allows for more curiosity and excitement on a planned vacation. Each destination allows for different foods, experiences, possibly weather, and relaxation. Go ahead and explore!
