I love Spain, and I always gladly go back. This country is more than just the sangria and Barcelona (although both combined are a recipe for a pretty good time).

I know that the usual touristy places cannot be missed, but are you up for something not so mainstream?

The term “self-care” has been trending on social media for a while now. For those not familiar with it, self-care is pretty self-explanatory: it means to take care of yourself. If you’re experiencing excessive fatigue, brain fog, or stress, those are signs that you should slow down and take better care of yourself. This generally means that you make time to focus on your mental and physical health. This might involve walking through the park, going for a run, eating nutritious foods, and getting more sleep.

It can be one thing to head off on some travels when you’re fresh out of University or secondary school, or travelling far off on a luxury honeymoon.

In fact, for many, travel might even feature that highly in your priorities, but it can still be something that can help and give you the chance to relax and have some quality time together. 

Children can learn a lot from travel too, so travel shouldn’t be something on the bottom of your priority list either. Travel and getting away as a family can help you all to work together, learn how you all deal with new situations and places, as well as help you to all communicate in an effective way.
