Instead of hotly anticipating your end-of-year break, here’s how to channel that holiday feeling – right now – in your city or town

Think Like A Tourist
Head to travel websites to uncover places you wouldn’t normally seek out. Luxury online guidebooks, like A Hedonist’s Guide or Unlike, offer off-the-beaten-track takes on South African cities. Go ahead – experience something new.

Get Into The Sun
Take lunch outdoors. When on holiday, we always feel so good because we spend very little time in artificial light. So, give your body a break with a little fresh air and sunlight, it can’t be beat.

Open Up
When we travel we are forced to rely on the kindness of strangers. We learn that sometimes it is in fact good to speak to people you don’t know! So replace that look of steely determination with a smile.

Be Curious
Break out of your rut for a week: Order a dish you’ve never tried before, walk or take the bus instead of your car, or take a different route to work. Who knows, the new view or the unknown person sitting next to you may inspire you.
