If you’re ever hesitating about whether to pack a book for your holiday, then this article is here to persuade you that you should. Here’s why.

Good Way to Relax

Whether you’re on a city break, or having a beach trip, you will no doubt have ‘relaxing’ on the agenda. It can be hard to know how to do this, so reading is a great place to start. Just taking time to sit and focus on the words helps calm the mind, and getting lost in the pages helps to switch off any stressful thinking.

Great for Solo Dining 

If you fancy taking yourself out for a nice meal while abroad, taking a book with you can make it all feel less daunting. You can enjoy the experience and your food while having something to focus on and help you not feel self-conscious. 

Nice Souvenir 

Associating a trip with a specific book is a lovely way to keep the memories of it strong. You can think back to sitting in a park reading a gripping chapter, and this helps make the memories feel more real and personal.
