A Getaway Can Boost Happiness
Taking trips is known to provide a happiness boost. It is a great remedy to break the monotony, and avoid depression when facing a hardship or major life changes. If you are still wondering what this new year will have in store, follow closely the rising popularity of mini vacations also called ‘staycations’. The 2018 Global Travel Insights survey found that 80% of North American travelers searched online for trips of 7 days or less. Research had previously determined that 8 days was the ideal length to reach complete relaxation. Since longer trips are usually booked months in advance and results in spending more for lodging, they can become really stressful. Shorter getaways can trigger the same happiness boost, and be booked weeks or days before.
