Are You Taking Advantage Of Your Vacation Time?

I lived in town called Surrey, England which is a 20 min train ride into the London. I truly enjoyed living in the UK. My son was born there, my husband proposed to me there, and I learned a lot about myself there. I wasn't much of a traveler before I meet my husband but I am now a wee be more traveled and culturally aware.

When I lived in England I noticed that everyone was taking vacation a few time a years which ranged from about 3 days up to 1-2 months. I had never seen that in America. They seemed happier too. In America people felt more obligated to their jobs instead of being more obligated to themselves and their families.

I live by the motto "You Only Live Once" and it wasn't meant to be lived in just one place. I have the tattoo on my arm that says - YOLO - just to remind myself sometimes.

Take more vacations, travel, take week off and explore your home town, spend more time with your kids and leave your laptop at home so no one will distract you. Sometimes you have to shut the world out to find your place in this world.

I strive to introduce my children many cultures and to travel within America and other countries and at 8 and 5 years old.

Fill those passport up with new stamps from new countries. Take your vacation without hesitation. Don't just live for work but work to live.

Have fun traveling everybody!!!
