Many times when I’m out and about and meeting new people, I get asked, "What do you do?" When I tell them I’m a travel consultant, I usually get the “You are so lucky you get to travel!” comments or “I wish I could go on vacation but I have so many things going on.” Another one that I hear is “I can’t really get away; I have so many projects going on at work, and the kids have such a busy schedule.” I understand that we are all busy; however, travel is the one thing that can bind us together.
Trust me- I have a family and a business, but I realize that my wheels can’t keep turning without re-charging them. Everyone’s way of recharging is different. It could be lounging on a beach and doing nothing all day, it could be a European cultural adventure, or it could be sightseeing in a big city. However, all of us NEED to take that time away. You need to take care of yourself so that you can also take care of everyone else in your family. This is especially true of your relationship with your significant other. Getting away and reconnecting can change the mood in the whole house. Use the time to explore, relax, talk, and just have fun. You will come back feeling like the stresses of daily life are miles away. A week in paradise is much better than a dozen roses. Love is in the journey! Share the knowledge

The only think I don't like when I don't have enough money is I literally can't go anywhere. I am the kind of person who needed to see the beach atleast twice a month. I can't do this when I am paying more bills than how much I actually make. I don't understand why I just wake up one day and I am now left to pay all the bills by myself. I feel life is being unfair with me. My husband is just sleeping all day. He does not even help me take care of the kids. I wish he would atleast help me with the housework so I will have more time to make money but all he does is sleep. It's like he is in a selective coma because when his friends call him, he is very quick to get up.

Stress is inevitable, it's a part of life that we need to deal every day, but too much stress is not good mentally and physically. That's why every once in a while, we should give ourselves a break and take a vacation or a moment alone. It doesn't need to go extravagant, there are places that we can go without spending too much of our earned money. Sometimes you just need your imagination and creativity to cut from the stress of life. A simple long road trip can de-stress me, hope you find yours.
