At work I received an email from my friend with notes for work whilst she was away on holiday. I felt like I should also send an email with important information in it but couldn't think of anything important to add - work wise. was new and completely unaware of what I was supposed to be doing...what would I even say work related?!
So I sent her this list -
Things you should do whilst away
 |
| I really wanted to drive one of these! |
(this is not a definitive list and you may get emails with more things as I think of them):
- Take lots of photos – but don’t miss things because you spent so much time taking the photos. Experience the place - soak it up, take it all in and get stuck in!
- Live like a native for the time you are there!! Be a tourist too but sometimes it's nice to see things from a different point of view.
- Get a healthy tan – we can compare once you are back!
- Take a good book and read it beside the beach or somewhere you feel comfortable.
- Go to a local event if you can find one! When travelling I've found it's one of the best ways to experience local life.
- Be openminded – we all do things in different ways.
- Keep your options open – try new things.
- To avoid disappointment be open to change (because I hate being disappointed when I’ve planned things so thoroughly).
- Talk to people (but not people who make you feel unsafe)
- Eat lots - try new food and eat food you already love because why not?!
- Don't think about work. Just remember that I'll be trying my best not to screw things up too badly.
- HAVE FUN - the most important thing I can say!
