Having a late afternoon beer with my family on any number of Swiss mountainsides.

Any beach

I went to Antigua with my mom when I was in college, and just hanging out around the resort was extremely relaxing.

— Rachel Crick, Associate Editor & Project Manager

Our camping trips to Ocracoke Island in the Outer Banks, North Carolina. There is nothing more relaxing to me than a trip there. I wake up and walk the beach each morning at sunrise. The water is just over the dune from our campsite.

— Donia Simmons, Creative Director

I love accompanying my husband on his business trips. I don’t mind spending the daytime meandering around in a new place, exploring by myself until he finishes up for the day. Most recently, I spent a trip in Hilton Head, South Carolina, that way, trying out a Japanese bakery and different seafood restaurants, and thrifting at one of the many shops on the island.

— Ashley Ricks, Print & Digital Publishing Manager

For pure relaxation, nothing beats an all-inclusive resort. Give me a beach chair and a good book and I’m a happy man. And when all the meals and activities are paid for ahead of time, even better.
