Inspiration

To feel that sentimental rush of nostalgia – wistful affection for days gone by – we must first have had the experiences to long for.

Inspiration comes in many different forms but, despite shapeshifting from person to person and place to place, it almost always has a mind-altering effect.

‘Exhilarating’ is a very personal adjective; we all find entirely different things in life thrilling. One thing is certain; if you seek out experiences that deliver when it comes to personal joy, animation and elation, you can expect to have the most glorious, adrenaline-filled, jaw-dropping adventures.

Holidays that can be summed up as neatly as ‘five-star R&R’ are simply delightful; others – those that involve immersion in local culture, exploration of landscapes both foreign and familiar, and engagement with the past – can be rather more complicated, often in the most life-enhancing and deepest of ways.

The concept of ‘wellness’ is difficult to define. Broadly, it refers to the pursuit of good health – be it mental, physical, emotional, spirital or environmental. To be rejuvenated is to be nourished through exercise, nutrition and rest. It is to feel at peace, miles from the anxieties of everyday life.

Satisfaction. Pleasure. Extravagance. Fulfilment. Holidays should be filled to the brim of moments that indulge our senses.
