“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”
Ibn Battuta
I have always loved holidays and travel. I love being able to explore places and get away from my day to day routine.
Unfortunately, travel in our current COVID pandemic is an issue. With countries and even states shut down, it’s hard to get away and travel.
I am so grateful that my country has opened up in-state travel, as I was recently able to take a little holiday away from the mundane daily life.
My husband and I went on a trip to a city a few hours away from us and we spend a few days resting and relaxing. We were able to explore a little and do some fun activities, as most tourism destinations have opened up again (only for people within the country of course).
I found it really beneficial having this holiday. It helped me to calm my mind and allow my normal inspiration to flow once again.
It is so incredibly beneficial for your mental health to take breaks and take time to relax. I found it so helpful to wind down for a few days and rejuvenate my mind and soul.
“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

My creativity has jumped again and I’m able to write more and the ideas are flowing once again! It is incredibly helpful to spend some time away and be able to relax like we were able to.
It’s hard getting back into the daily grind, but I am finding it a lot easier to work and study and write again after my few days away.
I definitely can not wait until the next holiday!
“Adventure is worthwhile.”
Aesop
