Woman reveals why you should always book a ‘buffer day’ post holiday – and likens it to a ‘mini staycation’
A WOMAN has revealed why you should always book a “buffer day” after a holiday.
Rachel Orr explained how taking the extra time to chill is essential before rushing back to work and likened it to a “mini staycation”.
She explained how the “weekend-warrior” routine is for people in their 20s and that once you’re in your 30s it’s time to give yourself a much needed break.
“Think of it as a mini staycation at the end of your vacation,” she suggested.
The tip was given as part of a ten travel hack series by Stuff.
Other hacks included dressing up for your flight and getting up early on vacation.
David Coggins believes travellers should dress to impress and take out their glad rags for the occasion to bring some dignity and glamour to the experience.
The author of Men and Style argues that making an effort shows respect to flight crew and fellow passengers.
He wrote: “I realise this is a losing battle, but it’s still a good fight.”
He added: “If a sweatsuit is your truth, then there’s nothing else I can say, other than nobody has looked good in a sweatsuit in the history of the world.”
Meanwhile for Amanda Finnegan rising with the sun on the day of departure means hours of calm before your travel buddies join you.
She also added a packing list consisting of:
- Two skirts: something that flows and something that hugs
- Three jackets: a classic blazer, something weird and an open-front wool jacket
- One pair of trousers.
- One black dress
- Three T-shirts
- Black shoes
It comes as a travel expert revealed the £2.75 holy grail item she uses to help get her through tough long-haul flights.
Sitting in a cramped economy seat for 10 plus hours can make the best of us feel pretty gross – but here’s a hack to help.
To survive an extra long journey, travel experts at The Cut, suggest practising a bit of self-care to keep you sane.
Danielle Cohen, a staff writer at the outlet, said while some may rely on medication to knock themselves out, this might not be an option for every traveller.
“I’m too paranoid to mess around with sedatives thousands of feet in the air, so I try to make things more tolerable by caring for my body the best I can,” she wrote.
“I use Colgate Wisps so that I don’t have to spend three minutes in a plane bathroom brushing my teeth, pack some nice-smelling travel-size hand sanitizer and lotion, and apply deodorant every few hours.
