Every day is a holiday!

2 min. read or check out the vlog version of it. One of the questions I've heard a squabillion times during the last weeks was: You do not travel this summer? How on earth do you survive that?

My answer? I currently do not feel the urge to travel, as I've finally created a life I do not need a holiday from. Because every day is a holiday.

Too abstract, right? Ok. Let me explain it to you from a different angle:

What do we usually do during holidays? 

We sleep. We read. We spend time outside or on the beach. We visit spas. We enjoy food and explore unique places. In short: We do what we crave for in our everyday lives. It is about passion and indulgence.

I live an everyday life like that. 

After countless years of painful struggling and experimenting, I've created a lifestyle, which embraces most of the just described elements in my daily life. Which means my holidays never end. There is no post holiday blues. It feels awesome!

But why do you still work so much if your life already is like a holiday? 

 That is a good question. I realized that my current holiday is like a great stay at a 3,5 star hotel. Which is lovely. But I want a holiday in a 7 star hotel. I currently only reached 50% of my targets for this stage of my life.

So why did I share these thoughts with you?

I sincerely believe that creating a life you do not need a vacation from is a more sustainable approach than living for the holidays. Or only feeling alive during holidays.

I also firmly believe that you need to prioritize your targets and needs. My need to live a 7 star holiday life as soon as possible is higher than my need to travel this summer. If I need a break, I book a staycation.

As always: I would love to hear from you.
