Beating My Post-Holiday Blues

"You can't buy happiness but you can a plane ticket and that's pretty much the same thing"

I have just got back for the most amazing two week holiday in the Dominican Republic and it was just pure happiness. As soon as I got home and walked into my empty house, walked into my bedroom had a look round - nothing had changed. Of course nothing has changed, you've only been away for two bloody weeks Jade. But there's always that weird feeling, I just sort of stood there and felt empty, the thought of emptying my case seemed like a monumental effort, especially after being awake for 25 hours.

Now it's bang straight back to reality and the automatic feeling of wanting to book another holiday. But it's got me thinking surely there's more to life than that annual holiday. You work like a dog all year to pay for this holiday and then that's it. It makes me want to quit and travel the world but equally I want to have an amazing career and a house so I know that's not the path for me. There is just something so refreshing about travelling to new places (especially with the love of your life), learning about new cultures and seeing some of the most beautiful sights in the world. As you can tell I have those post-holiday blues but however I am trying to be positive and look forward to summer 2018.

Beating my post-holiday blues:
x Depoping : putting a bunch of stuff on my depop account allowing me to make some extra $ (can add to savings to pay for the next trip)
x Blogging : I want to document more travel + style on my blog so want to write up an Travel Guide on Punta Cana, which is a nice way to look back on these experiences
x Shopping : I was in shock when I arrived back at Heathrow to 20 degree sunshine skies, so my summer wardrobe needs some updates
x Summer Plans: Getting more plans in the diary in order to have things to look forward to
