As much as we would love to take them, time off from work is hard to come by. Your career, kids schooling, family and friend’s functions will be taking so much of your free time, that you almost won’t have a successful vacation out of the home area away from the hustle and bustle of the city. But if you do have time, don’t let it to chance; plan it accordingly and make the most out of it. Here are some tips.

On the run, are you?

Do you tend to do things at the last moment? Is your desk a mess? Is your partner always complaining you have no time to organize anything? Well, don’t worry. You can improve. Start by doing something like planning a trip! All you have to do is, note down, where, what and how much physically or digitally; the latter is easier for you if you are on the run always. Use any search engine to see the best places which are quite close, if you prefer to drive. If you have only a day or two to spend, try overnight accommodation Gerroa. You can take some time to lie down on the beach, also swim, snorkel, visit a festival or even go on dolphin/ whale watching as time permits.

Travel light

You don’t need so much stuff for a holiday. Plan the activities so that you can carry the bare minimum. Beaches don’t need shoes either!

Research your destination to blend in with the culture

Having a blast in your free time is not just what a holiday should be. Try to blend in with the place you are going to; try the Southern Coast. Select a homey vacation house and see if they offer tips on things to do to experience the local customs. Most have this option. How about wine tasting?

What are your special choices?

The south coast is not only famous for its never ending beaches, but also for the abundance of activities you can choose from. If you are a surfer dude, this is the best place for you. Also not forgetting boating! Hire your own boat and sail the seas!

Make sure the logistics won’t bother you halfway

It is always good to make sure the logistics are satisfactory. If you are using your own vehicle, make sure it is fully serviced, topped up with enough fuel, and there is enough space for everyone and everything. If not make sure you select a vehicle suitable for the mountainous terrain. So make sure you have swimwear, flip flops and a pair of sunglasses. Your dream holiday is here!
