Not every trip has to be a two-week expedition on a huge budget. Weekend getaways to places nearby give you almost the same mental break as a long trip, with far less effort spent organising it.
Choose somewhere less than two hours away, book at short notice, and leave part of the itinerary unplanned. Real rest comes from not having to stick to a strict timetable the whole time.
Start today: open the map and see what’s less than an hour from your home. There’s bound to be something you’ve never seen.
