“Once a
year go someplace you’ve never been before” the Dalai Lama is quoted as saying
and if he’s priced airfare lately he’d know that now is the time to go. Travel experts are currently seeing the
lowest airfare in years! According to
Airline Research Firm, Hopper, a combination of low fuel prices and an
increase in competition has pushed airline prices to the lowest they have been
in 4 years. If that’s not reason enough
to persuade you to start booking your next IVHE.com home exchange then here are a few more reasons
that will have you booking your new adventure today.
Good
For Your Health
Studies
show that vacationing is known to lower the risk of heart disease, help with
depression and promote brain health.
With health benefits like that there’s no need to feel guilty about
never actually running in that marathon you’ve always talked about.
Makes
You Smarter
Traveling
and experiencing new cultures is known to increase intelligence. Do you come in last at every Pub Quiz Night
you attend? Maybe a week on the Amalfi
Coast or a Caribbean island will change that.
It can’t hurt.
Learn
Something New
Why
read about history in a book or watch a documentary when you can experience it
for yourself. There’s no better way to
learn and retain information than with a first hand experience.
Healthier
Relationships
According
to the US Travel Association, couples who often travel together have been found
to have happier and healthier relationships.
While it may not make your husband any more willing to ask for
directions, couples who often face the challenges of traveling to foreign
countries are found to have stronger relationships.
Gain
A Fresh Perspective
Getting
away from the day-to-day grind will help you better deal with life’s
hurdles. People often find that they
return from a get-away with a clear head and fresh solutions to the struggles
they may be dealing with in their lives
Lifetime
Memories
You’ll
have experiences that will last a lifetime and stories to tell for years to
come. Not to mention, all those fabulous
photos to improve your Instagram feed.
Meet
New People
One of
my favorite things about traveling is meeting new people. People are much more open to chatting and
sharing their experience while on vacation than in regular day-to-day
life. There is something to learn from
everyone you meet especially fellow travelers.
Learn
A New Language
Parlez-vous
Francais? Parli Italiano? Traveling to a
new country is a great opportunity to learn a new language or at least a
handful of words and phrases. Not only
is it interesting to study a foreign language but it’s also the proper
traveling etiquette when a guest in another country.
