Time is money…and vacation time is precious! So how can you make the most of it? These five tips will help.

Savor the anticipation. You’re not just paying for the experience, you’re also paying for the excitement leading up to your trip. If you’re looking forward to an upcoming vacation – by all means, shout it from the rooftops!

 

 

Don’t overbook yourself. Especially when you’re exploring a new location, it’s important to allow yourself plenty of time to both sight-see and relax in a new environment. It’s great to have a full itinerary, but setting expectations too high will cause disappointment.

 

 

Choose vacations that you genuinely want to take. Why waste money on a trip you don’t really want to be on? As with many things in life, vacation choices can be subject to social pressure. You don’t have to visit a specific resort or destination just because everyone else has. Instead, take a vacation where you want to, and create your own memories!

 

 

Disconnect from social media. It’s great to keep your friends and family “in the loop” of your travels…but don’t let social media interaction consume you, when you could be out experiencing a new place!
