The doctor will see you now…
Feeling down, or not quite ‘you’? Stuck in a rut, bored silly, lost your spark or totally stressed out? Give Holidays of Australia & the World a call. We’re here waiting, ready to dispense the best medicine for the soul: travel.
Let’s face it, travel is much more fun than a whole bunch of therapy sessions with a shrink. Could prove cheaper as well. So before we present two great soul-saving holidays, (including big dollar savings too) allow us to remind you just why travel is the best investment for your soul.
Travel gets your heart pumping
From rushing for a plane, walking through a foreign city or climbing a mountain, physical exercise will lower your risk of heart disease (and your blood pressure to boot!)
Travel sharpens your mind
From reading maps, memorising room numbers or hotel safe codes, calculating exchange rates or remembering where the bus driver parked the coach – it’s all stimulating those brain cells.
Travel relieves stress
When you’re out of the daily routine in a new environment your mind resets, your mood lightens, you’ll probably even forget why you were so frazzled in the first place. Your mood lightens from the moment you start to plan your holiday – and that high will continue long after you’ve returned home, as you tell anyone who’ll listen of your fabulous adventure.
Travel broadens your perspective
Travelling not only broadens your horizons physically, it expands your mind as you see the world through someone else’s eyes. It can challenge your own assumptions about our world and free your mind to think in other ways. (Who knows you may even solve a personal or work because you have a more detached view of it – from afar). Travellers experiencing epiphanies is very common.
Travel relaxes you
There’s nothing like going on holiday knowing you don’t have to mow a lawn, wash a dish or cook a meal for the duration. Travel gives you time to do what you love doing.
Travel piques your interest and curiosity
People are more willing to try new things and experiences from foods to more adventurous activities. Travel eggs you on to explore the new and that’s great for the soul. Hey and you just might find – at the ‘lost city’ of Machu Picchu, or deep inside a medieval Croatian city – new meaning to your life. It happens.
So, now the doc has put the case of soul sustaining travel to you, here is some inspiration to get you planning. Two great packages that will have your soul singing. Consider them a top investment in yourself, because you’ll soon discover your holiday will give you an invaluable return on investment. (And you’ll save $1000 on the package to boot).
