As a busy wife, mom, author and entrepreneur I love taking any opportunity I get to travel. Traveling is what fills my bucket, it allows me to recharge my often empty batteries, it sparks new ideas and lets me be creative.
When I travel I get to make memories, get to experience new places, people and cultures, I break my routine, my mental health gets boosted!
A recent Washington State University study found out that people who traveled several times a year – even for just 75 miles from home- were 7% happier than those who did not travel. I am not surprised.
Unfortunately I can’t just fly around the world every month so sometimes I have to get creative. Check out a few tips if you feel tired, exhausted, drained and overworked but can’t just get away to explore a new place far from home:
- Get outdoors (hike in the mountains, go to the beach, bike in a close-by park)
- Visit a Museum or Zoo
- Try out cooking international meals
- Read travel blogs to get inspired for future travel
- Plan a bucket list with destinations you want to visit
