Leaving for Athens to see my family in a month, and then off to Vancouver and the surroundings in September ! Can't wait to disconnect for a short while 😄
I haven't been on a vacation in my life. Unless you consider my senior class trip in 2003 where my school took us to Disney/Orlando Studios/Daytona Florida for 9 days.
Currently on my 4th week on the yearly holiday, returning to the office next Monday. I try to keep 4 weeks of holiday during summer and 1 during winter and then I'm lucky enough to work for a company that is flexible enough that I can take unpaid holidays to have longer weekends or recover every now and then with extra days off.
Those 4 weeks in summer... is this some Scandinavian thing? I heard, that in Sweden, usually in july everything stops, because who ever can, takes the whole month off.
Yeah, I live in Finland where you get 2.5 days of paid mandatory vacation per month worked which totals to 30 days. For each 5 days of holiday spent, you also lose one extra day (some old rule from the days when people worked 6d/wk).
So that makes it basically 5 weeks of holiday and people usually spend 4 of those during the summer and 1 during the winter.
Going to Florida at some point in the coming few months. Will be the first time our whole family has been back to the States together since we moved abroad a year ago! (Yes, a trip to Disney World is definitely happening.)

I’m planning my next 3 vacations at the moment. I spent the last year of my life in overdrive with no break in sight. I hurt people close to me because I got so high strung. I’m not making that mistake again.

I definitely need vacation.

Gonna start a new habit of booking the next holiday when I return from the last one. 😎
