MONEY

Don 't book a holiday that will stretch your budget too much. Be aware that you're going to want to spend money once you get there. And however much you think you'll spend, you're wrong it will be more. On a positive note, you should remember that you would spend a certain amount of money when you're at home normally, so it's only the excess that you need to consider.

TRAVELLING IS ABOUT EXPERIENCES

A good holiday is one that offers up a host of treasured experiences, ones you would never have had if you'd never left home. These cherished moments can take many forms but you have to be open to them. Chat to the locals and walk or cycle to immerse yourself in your destination. Two weeks on a beach might relax you but the best way of achieving contentment is to enrich your life with the special memories and achievements that holidays are great and providing, if you'll let them.

AND FINALLY

There's nothing like a guilt trip to make you appreciate what you have; so it's worth remembering that you're blessed you have the opportunity and the money to go on holiday at all. Enjoy!
