Christmas is coming! 

 

Are you wracking your brain for the perfect gift? Have you considered the gift of travel? It's green, and easy to wrap. And the size will fit. Odds are, you'll give the best gift possible. Travel opens minds and let's you explore the world together - allowing you to build precious memories.

 

You should definitely spend your money on experiences rather than things.

 

There are studies that focus on the impact on happiness. See science of experiences and spend $ on experiences. And there are reports about increasing your happiness if you spend your retirement money on travel, especially multi-generational travel. See spend retirement money 

 

Let me know if you'd like to give the gift of travel this Christmas. It works for adults, as well as kids - or grandkids.

 

There are studies that show that parents should spend money on travel rather than toys. Shoot me an email at sheila.gh@visiontravel.ca or give me a call at 613-837-0699. I'm already helping some parents shop for gifts for their kids with a trip to Disney, a family river cruise, a trip to Hawaii, and trip to Costa Rica. There are plenty of opportunities to explore.

 

Parents have been wasting hundreds of pounds on toys, according to one of Britain’s leading child psychologists, and should be spending their money on holidays instead..... and... family holidays are definitely valued by children, both in the moment and for long afterwards in their memory. So if you’re going to spend money on something, it’s pretty clear which option makes more sense.
