The one thing we have all said, and all heard our friends say, is “I need to get away.” We all have an idea of what that means; the stresses and strains of our day to day lives have got a little bit too much, we need to recharge our batteries and we need a change of scenery. But can you go too far to do that? Are there places around the world that are simply too far removed from our home comforts that they actually become more stressful?
I am not suggesting we travel to the poles of the world; but oftentimes we need to change one or two aspects of our lives to have a successful holiday. If we change the climate, the culture, the people and everything about it we become so far removed from our comforts that, again, we can become stressed. Change a couple of things; Europe is a nice break for Americans, while the states often isn’t different enough for those of us living in the UK.
