Going on a vacation is supposed to be a relaxing time. You get to break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, take time off work, and forget about those early morning commutes.
While most people love traveling and exploring new places, others can have the opposite experience. Travel can sometimes be stressful for these reasons:
Not Planning for Rest and Relaxation
With so many amazing sights to see in a new location, loading up your travel itinerary can be tempting. However, a full schedule doesn’t allow for much-needed rest and relaxation.
Consider planning something relaxing every day, like staying in an Arizona wellness retreat to enjoy yoga, spa treatments, and other practices to refresh your mind, body, and soul. Even allocating time to sleep in, ordering room service, and reading books for hours on end may help reduce travel stress related to a stretched schedule.
Language Barriers
Immersing yourself in a new culture can be exciting, but any vacation disaster can be so much more overwhelming when you don’t speak the language. Language barriers certainly contribute to the stress of a vacation.
Fortunately, there are ways you can combat this issue. Learn basic words, sentences, and questions before you leave, such as: Hello and goodbye Please and thank you ‘Where is the restroom?’
