3 Reasons to Love Weekend Getaways
Travel is one of the most enriching things that you can do, but it can sometimes take its toll from a financial perspective especially when it comes to booking flights, hotel stays, and everything else that goes along with going on holiday. There are ways however, that you can still travel without breaking the bank and enjoy weekend getaways.
If you live in the UK for example, you can become a bit of a tourist in your own country and pick some places, towns, or villages that you have never been to. Instead of flying or taking a train, you can rely on something entirely different, Rideshareapps. Whatever your preferred mode of transport, one thing is for sure, getting away for travel breaks with the girls or alone is something that you should try to do as often as humanly possible.
Exploration
When it comes to weekend getaway and excursions being able to explore a new part of the country or even to visit a neighbouring land is a great way to feed your wanderlust without spending more money than you care to part with. You can learn about local folklore, see the sights, and of course sample the amazing food and drink in the destination that you choose for you weekend getaways. Seeking out historical sights, learning about those that lived in the area prior and what their lives were like make any trip super interesting. While getting away to relax is often needed, getting away to learn and explore is even better.

Take a trip with The Girls
When choosing to travel with your closest girlfriends you should consider making your weekend getaways more like a 2-3 day trip. Depending on who you travel with, the experiences will always be different, the stories will as well, but the bonding time is something that is always good for the soul. Having the time to get away with your closest friends and family members make weekend getaways something that you can look forward to. Taking road trips with your friends makes getting to the destination just as fun and exciting as the destination itself.
Alone Time
Everyone needs some alone time every now and then. Alone time is good for the heart and soul as it allows you to get back to center and focus in on what’s important-you! There is something about travelling solo that is liberating and exciting. I’m hoping to go on a couple of solo trips this year. You can really be anyone you want to be and go anywhere your heart desires. It can serve as an escape, a much needed mental and emotional break from the everyday stresses and hassles of work and what we call “real life”. It can be anything you want it to be.

I love weekend getaways as you can see so much either without taking time off work or with very little time off work. I’ve done a few on my own and some with friends too. This year I have Paris (twice) and Belfast booked for long weekends but Prague, Dubrovnik and Cologne are also on my list x
Me and my best gals always try and have a weekend city break every year and they are alway soooo much fun! x
