“If I only have four days off, I’m not spending two of those in the air,” said one travel study participant when asked the question: Exactly how long should a trip be for that stress to be “worth it”? Scientists at the Academy of Finland discovered that between three and six days away is ideal. Choose a destination that doesn’t come with an exhausting flight and even four days of fun, exploration, and relaxation is enough to rejuvenate you.
Where to go to remove yourself from stressors that drive your need for a getaway? Belize takes just a few hours to reach and since no language barriers exist, it’s the ideal destination. Further, did you know that by replacing one or two annual long vacations with multiple short ones you are likely to live longer? Rod Cuthbert, author of the book Vacation Rules, can verify this if you don’t believe it, so start packing and planning for your escape!
