There are several moments that make us wonder, what are we doing in our lives? None of the things that we do, be it at home or at work, makes any sense if we are not mentally happy. We start questioning ourselves if we really need this kind of life, or a life where we can take an easy break, every now and then! However, that is just not always possible.
What would you want to do when you are stressed? Take a break and go on a trip! That’s what all of us want, but not everyone can pack a bag and do solo-run across mountains, seas, and islands for a peaceful trip for days at a stretch. And, going out with friends or family doesn’t always suit your needs. So, how do you make some space for yourself and make a calm trip alone or with a company, to great places?
If you are ready to pack your bags for a good long time and come out of that shell for some harmony, here are amazing places you can choose from for your next trip.
1. El Camino de Santiago
Have you read the book The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho? Well, this is the place we are talking about. El Camino de Santiago has a route, stretching about 500 miles from southern France to the north-western Spanish city, Santiago de Compostela, where St. James was buried. It is said that the walk on the spiritual trail takes almost two months, however, you have an option of completing a portion in nine days and eight nights. A self-guided beautiful and peaceful tour as such is all you need to look back and analyze a lot of things in life. Take this one up, and you won’t regret.
2. Costa Rica
If you want an adventurous trip, off the grid, you might as well opting for Costa Rica. There are planned trips for travelers, that allows no cell reception, satellites or even civilization for that matter. Imagine living near volcanoes, or in jungles, beaches, rainforests, coffee plantations, for almost ten days! You can also take up lots of physical activities to keep you refreshed!
3. Greenville, SC
If you are someone who loves biking, Greenville is one place you cannot miss. There are travel organizers who offer ride camps along the stunning foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The whole tour is about enjoying the amazing scenery while cycling and getting back to thinking clearly. It is a serene place that will rejuvenate you immediately.
