Why you should book a sun holiday rather than a snow holiday now
Every year I think it again: why don't I go skiing while my entire Instafeed does? I love skiing and all the schnapps that come with it.
But I hardly ever go. It never happens, it's too expensive, it's so much planning. But I do want to. And so here I am, in August, already diligently searching for white mountains on the internet. This year it has to happen. Even if it's just for a few days. A long weekend, that should be possible, right? But I might as well be looking for a vacation full of white beaches, research shows, because a sun holiday makes us happier than a snow holiday. Of course, on a winter sports trip, you can also catch some sun rays, and that does a person good. Sunlight provides more energy and a brighter mood. Plus: you are outside a lot when you go skiing. Also good for you .
But what a sun holiday does have that a winter sports holiday does not, are those really long days. Days that start early in the morning with a coffee by the pool and end with sangria on the beach bed. That you see the sun set at ten o'clock and eat some bread with aioli at half past ten, just because you can, having dinner so late. Not having any rhythm at all, not noticing the time, and not needing a watch, well, you find that at la playa. Days that are long and lazy; that makes us happier. Moreover, on a winter sports trip, you have to do a lot. You have to rent skis, put on skis, no, wait, put on ski boots (ouch), arrange a ski pass, get in the lift, come down the mountain without breaking your leg, that idea. You have to be busy all day. On a beach holiday, you just have to, well, maybe just turn your bed a little with the sun. And so you rest more from it.
It turns out, according to psychologists, that the sun holiday makes you happier already eight weeks before departure. Especially if you move to the sun during the winter months. Here it is cold and gray, but ha, in six weeks, four days, and seven hours, you will be in a bikini. Certainly, 94 percent of people have more energy to get back to work after a holiday, so our advice? Just book a last-minute trip to the sunshine this year. You can still walk in those most beautiful slippers and wear all your 81 summer dresses. According to researchers, the best duration is eight days: that is the perfect length for a vacancioooone.
Well, now I want to go to the sun, you understand, so this will be winter schnaps by the sea . I will ski in 2021, really, I promise. And all of February, I just won't check Instagram, okay?
