WHY YOU NEED AN ADVENTURE VACATION

Share this:

How often have you come back from your vacation exhausted, only to be waking up early the next morning to go back to work? Do you ever feel like it would be great to have a few days to relax and unpack before getting back to the grind? Or better yet, would you like to return home recharged and inspired with new mental awareness, more energy, and relaxed.

If you’ re nodding in agreement. Here’s a suggestion when you’re ready to plan your next vacation.  It’s a plan for an adventure vacation.

What are the benefits of an adventure vacation?

1. It Offers Life-Changing Experiences

 

Adventure travel pushes you outside of your comfort zone. It puts you in unfamiliar situations and challenges you to test your mettle.

2. It Offers Personal Growth and Challenges

You find out what you are made of. And you learn that you can do more than you ever thought you could.

3. It Gives You a Sense of Accomplishment

Adventure travel is not for wimps. Days can be physically challenging. You often deal with rain, cold or wind, which can mean mud and chills. But you meet the obstacles and feel and elated that overcame them.

4.  It Helps You to Feel Gratitude and Improve Mindfulness

Active travel adventures often slow travel. You have time to really see and study your surroundings. You find time to quiet down. Adventure travel can be a form of active meditation throughout much of the day. Your heart can burst with the joy of just being alive.

5. It Improves Your Brain

We get distracted and multi-task all day. Which gives us all a bit of attention deficit disorder. When on an adventure trip, you naturally stay in the moment. This allows your brain to rest, and I believe, heal.  One study found that nature helps restore the higher cognitive functions we require in today’s device-driven days. This study found a 50% increase in creativity and problem-solving skills after only three days of hiking.

6.  It Improves Your Mental Health and Reduces Stress

Nature also improves our mental health and reduces depression and anxiety.
