Have you ever taken your family on a trip and immediately after needed a vacation for yourself? I know I have! As I get older, the idea of a self-care vacation becomes more and more appealing. While I would never turn down a backpacking trip to Europe with a packed itinerary, something totally peaceful and restorative sounds like the ultimate luxury to this working mom of three!
How do you plan a trip like this? Well, having your goals in mind will help narrow your search. Do you want to disconnect from technology? Reconnect with your inner spirituality? Become stronger and healthier?
Once you align on your inner goals, it's time to research different options! I'm sharing five ideas below that all range in purpose, but are affordable and all about taking care of YOU! And as an added bonus, all of these getaways are easy to get to by car that you can rent at the local airport.
