Travel can serve as a source of both relaxation and stress, depending on the preparations taken beforehand and afterward. Planning the list of destinations, like restaurants and attractions, for instance, can alleviate stress, but determining the vacation window can prove stressful due to balancing prices and work obligations.
Once the vacation dates and travel destinations are set, it’s wise to build in a couple of days at the end between returning home and going back to work. This creates a buffer to readjust to the current time zone, if necessary, and complete any leftover errands.
Once at a destination, certain counterintuitive practices can increase enjoyment. Resisting the temptation to take constant photographs will promote immersion in the experience at hand. Also, creating intentional unstructured time in each day’s schedule can allow for relaxation or finding new places to visit that are not listed on popular review websites.
