Weekend Dreamer

Though you don’t travel often, you treat each getaway like a precious pearl in your necklace of memories.
Your ideal weekend is an escape from the city, where you can savor the silence, the smell of the forest, and the view of the setting sun. For you, quality always wins over quantity.
Your trips are carefully planned, but not to fill them with attractions from dawn to dusk. On the contrary – you make sure there’s room for breathing, contemplation, and genuine rest.
You have your favorite travel rituals: morning coffee on a terrace with a view, walks at sunrise, evening stargazing.
Nature works on you like a balm for the soul. Even a short trip surrounded by mountains, forests, or by a lakeside can recharge your batteries for many weeks.
You value the authenticity of experiences and deep connection with the places you visit, instead of superficially “checking off” one spot after another.
How to Plan Your Trips
- Choose places close to home – less time traveling, more time relaxing!
- Look for accommodations with a view – a mountain cabin, lakeside cottage, or room with a terrace is perfect
- Check the weather before you go – nothing ruins chilling out like an unexpected downpour
- Plan max 1-2 nice things per day – rushing is your number one enemy
- Bring small comforts with you – your favorite tea, a book, blanket or even your pillow
- Travel during off-season – fewer people = more peace for you
- Prepare a playlist for the journey and evening relaxation – music can create the perfect mood
- Leave your laptop at home and turn off notifications – digital detox works wonders!
