There’s little more exciting than the adventure of international travel.
The chance to experience cultures completely different to our own, explore the history of another country and take in the stunning scenery of breath-taking cityscapes or bright sandy beaches is one that doesn’t come along often, so when it does, we like to seize it with both hands!
But equally, amongst the sightseeing and excitement, holidays can come with a little quiet time. Whether you’re waiting for your next activity or simply enjoying a little peace by the pool, you may find that occasionally you need a little something to keep you occupied.
In that case, these are just three things you can take on holiday to ensure there is never a dull moment and make the most of your relaxation – take a look.
- Travel games
Board games aren’t just a great way to pass the time – they encourage us to engage with one another, laugh together and spend time with each other
And you’ll find most of your favourite board games are available in some form of easy-to-carry travel size.
Or keep it simple with card games – a traditional pack has a multitude of playing options, whilst travellers can even find a card edition of Monopoly specifically designed to be played on the go!
- Books
It takes the average person around 10 hours to read a 400 pages book. That’s the same time as a flight from London to New York!
So, if you’re constantly promising yourself you’ll read more but never seem to get around to it, your holiday could be the perfect time to do just that. Choose yourself a beach read and get stuck in with a cocktail in the sun – whether it’s a way to pass the time abroad or a gateway to forming a more permanent habit, it’s an ideal opportunity to tuck into some great literature.
- Get active!
If you’re the type of person who doesn’t like to spend your holiday sat down but prefers to be out and about, sightseeing, and constantly on the move, it might be a source of frustration when the rest of your party prefers to lay on a sun lounger in a post-hotel-buffet haze.
But there are many ways to enjoy physical activity on your own, especially with portable accessories such as the YES Electric Scooter by Yvolution. It’s foldable, making it easy to take on holiday and on the go, and with a reliable battery life you can enjoy it just about anywhere!
No one wants to think too much about staying fit on holiday – we’d much rather be tucking in and enjoying ourselves! – but if you’re the type of person who can’t sit still, that summer sun is the perfect opportunity to get outside and moving around.
Packing for your next getaway? These are just three great things you can take with you to complete your holiday experience.
