When you’re out traveling, whether you’re going with friends, family, or by yourself, there tends to be a sense of urgency in the things that you do. If you’re not traveling for such a long time, you may feel super pressured to do as much as possible every single day that you’re there. But the truth is, this shouldn’t be your mindset. Yes, it’s always good to get the most out of your experience—but you can’t lose the right attitude in the process.
Your job isn’t to see a million things on your trip. Your job is to have a good experience. Now, for most people who are traveling, a good experience translates into jam-packed filled days with no room for rest.
However, there are many people who are perfectly content with sightseeing throughout the day and relaxing at their hotel at night. If that’s you, then get your relaxation on! You don’t owe anyone anything, and there’s no point of seeing a historical landmark if you’re only doing it to appease someone else.
Not to mention the fact that people who travel for months on end often spend hours and hours just lazing about at home. There’s nothing wrong with that, and you should be able to enjoy it if you do the same.
