To spend quality time together
Work, school, and extracurricular activities leave very little time to spend with your family. Family breaks give you the opportunity to spend quality time together. Without the daily distractions, there is more time to talk and enjoy each other’s company. When you take a holiday together, you become a team and create a sense of togetherness. You’ll also have more time to do things you wouldn’t usually do – play a board game, go on a hike, or spend a day at the beach. The family that plays together, stays together.
To create memories
The experiences you share on holiday will be with you forever. According to a survey found on Virtuoso, most people’s best memories are of things they did during a family holiday. Whether it was your kid’s first train ride or your spouse’s hilarious first attempt at wakeboarding – these are the kind of memories that will last a lifetime. In a few years, you’ll be able to look over a photo album or watch a video of your holiday and relive the wonderful memories. Remember, kids in school are at the best age to enjoy family holidays. Next thing you know your kids are going off to university and having their own kids – and they’ll end up having much less free time.
To relieve stress
Without the worries of chores, school, and work, you’ll have an opportunity to relax and recharge. According to WebMD, “People who take vacations have lower stress, less risk of heart disease, a better outlook on life, and more motivation to achieve goals.” Plus, when on holiday, we tend to relax, allowing us to sleep more restfully. Family breaks can save you from burning out, and you’ll return to work or school feeling refreshed, energised, and ready to take on the next chapter.
To experience new things
There are so many things to see in this world of ours – and now you get to experience it with your loved ones. Travelling is a learning experience, whether your destination is a few hours drive from your home or some exotic place in Europe. If you’re visiting a foreign country you can get to know the locals, try new foods, seek out local traditions, and learn some of the country’s history. Experiencing things first-hand is much more enriching than reading or learning about it in a classroom. Think of it as a real, live history and geography lesson without the bore of homework.
