“Jobs fill your pocket. Adventures fill your soul.”
― Jaime Lyn Beatty
Work, family, and the everyday routine we refer to as “the grind” can wear on your heart, soul, and mental health. How often do you think, “We need a break?” Or, “I need to get away?” How often do we wish that we could “just have some fun?”
People have never been satisfied staying in one place for too long. We always wonder what’s over the horizon, what’s beyond that ocean, or even just what adventures await us down the road.
Travel provides exhilaration and relaxation. Travel gives us the mental break we need and the motivation we desire. Travel relieves our stress and leaves us wanting more. Travel is simultaneously relaxing, stimulating, adventurous, and cathartic. Sometimes, the best cure is to pick up and go.
