Let's Fight (our) Mediocrity, One Round at a Time!
All tagged Travel
Already vacation deprived, a particularly stressful summer at work added to my chronic wanderlust. It is fair to say, that I barely ever felt so in need of a vacation. Looking for the perfect destination for an adventure holiday, we settled for the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, the self-proclaimed happiest place on earth. As our visit in August fell in the middle of the Monsoon season, would rain clouds get in the way of our soul search?

If you want a memorable holiday, look for a challenge!
While a week in a luxury beach resort in Thailand is nice, I realized that for me the holidays where I returned the most mentally refreshed were the ones, in which I stayed physically active and challenged myself. Just recently I had one of those adventure holidays, a free guided mountain tour in the Japanese Alps.
For most people in a management position, business travel is part of the job description and often a major stress factor too. While I generally do not mind business travelling much, I am definitely embracing every travel life hack there is. That was also the main motivation to splurge and put a hefty US$ 109 down for a Kickstarter campaign by Baubax, promising nothing less than “The World’s Best Travel Jacket”.
