And what I found in this trip now is we actually came away from it recharged and refreshed rather than you often hear, OK, I need a holiday after that holiday sort of thing, you know.

Yeah.

This is especially if it's like a bucket list trip that you've done or want to do for a long time.

I booked a trip to Tenerife just after Christmas time and at the start I was like okay I need to do all these hikes, all these spots that I want to check out and leading up to it I was like actually I'm just going to take it day by day and go with the flow you know and just rent a car and you have that freedom to do what you want.

And I just immerse myself in with the locals, go to local coffee shops, seeing what's around there as well, and then maybe go to one of the bigger hotspots as well and get the balance.

But yeah, it is hard to find it, you know.

um not as much anymore i remember a couple years ago i was on a slow travel seven months i would call it um out in asia and spent a lot of that time in thailand vietnam you know so i was trying to immerse myself in with the locals i guess you know um and they did do a lot at the time and again like he says it's time and money at the end of the day you know and for someone that might have kids and family and a lot more restrictions i guess you know um

You sort of have to pick and choose what you want to do.

This is it, you know.

When you come back.

Like coming back from even that Asia trip, I was like, oh my God, I have so much more life experience just hearing stories and experiences and trying new foods and everything, you know.

Just being immersed in a different culture.

It's just something that you wouldn't necessarily...

think of going out of your way to do initially until you're in it.

This is it, you know, 100%.

You're feeling refreshed, you're feeling relaxed.

And I know from the Friday going into the Monday then, you sort of, as the time went past by, you could see everyone just relaxing.

And then by Monday coming around, like, do we actually want to leave now?

Or do we want another day here?

Do we have to go back to Dublin now to work?
