Are you a long weekend traveler or office holiday traveler? What do you prefer?
The work culture in 2019 is so consuming that it can take a toll on your mind very quickly. Taking a break, getting some time off, relaxing and bouncing back after me much needed time to yourself or your family is delightful. However, we always, never have time and we don’t know how to have it. There was a time when in college, you would make plans of taking time off and going skinning dipping. And now the time you get goes into another deadline or project or maybe sleeping and more sleeping.
There are people who wait desperately for a weekend to whisk away to the nearest hill station to laze around while there are some who have put out emails requesting a week-long during the festive or year-end time to really take the time off.
The Flapper Life gives you the pros and cons of both sides of the same coin.
