Something new...
When choosing a holiday, it’s often easier to go with what feels comfortable, and to yield to the pull of the familiar. And sometimes that’s exactly what we need. At other times, though, we might feel inspired to try something new – to go to a destination we’ve never visited before, to try a different activity, or to sample food and wine that we wouldn’t have come across at home.
And when we do, we invariably feel a sense of reward. After all, novelty seems to have a way of intensifying memory, so that the more we embrace the unfamiliar on holiday, the slower time seems to pass, and the longer-lasting the memories we bring home.
