Different types of trips produce different psychological and physical recovery. Match trip type to what you actually need at the moment.
Trip types and what they do
Beach/lying-down: physical exhaustion recovery. City break: mental stimulation recovery (if life is monotonous). Adventure: when life feels too safe. Solo retreat: when overwhelmed by demands. Cultural immersion: when life feels narrow.
When you know what you need
Match the trip. Don't book city break when exhausted. Don't book beach when needing stimulation. The mismatch produces disappointing trips even at lovely destinations.
