So many of us often feel in a rut. We get buried in the day to day monotony of daily struggles and routine. Sometimes you just need to get in your car and take a little mini vacation. It doesn’t need to be expensive, just a 1-3 day trip to soothe the soul.

I am always amazing at how inspired I am in different scenery and getting out of my regular routine. Personally, I feel most relaxed and the most brilliant ideas come to me about my business, personal relationships, etc. As a photographer, I am able to capture the simplest of moments, but it gets me out of myself and whatever issues may be at hand in that moment.

Basically, it changes your perception of things and shifts your attitude. For me, it almost always gets me out of a “funk”, for lack of a better word and flourishes me with so much creativity!

Some of my favorite little getaways are Santa Barbara, Los Gatos, Portland, Paris, Rome, and Santorini. Photo opportunities are around every corner! California has several different areas for hiking and having peace and quiet. Yosemite has endless options! I remember when I was younger and had just a few traveling experiences. The more places you see, the more you want to!

Life is short. We need to get out there and live! We only go around once, so make yours something your passionate about!

Next time you’re frustrated with work, feel like you’re not quite connected with your special someone the way you used to…Plan a little getaway and see how much it nourishes your soul!

If you are flying overseas for a holiday or to visit friends and has to change airports and planes quite a few times, you may find, from no fault of your own that you missed a plane. This has happened to me a number of times, and I have found, that the best way to handle it, is to have a very relaxed attitude. There is no point in panicking, yelling or crying at this time.

Often flights can be late, and when you are trying to catch connecting flights, anxiety can set in. There is no point in running to catch a plane and ending up out of breath, sweaty and miserable because you’ve missed it. Just make your way there and get your ticket changed over to another flight. Most airports have wonderful shops, restaurants and bars so if you have time to spare, read a book, do some browsing or have a meal.

Remember, there are also Internet outlets, so you can e-mail anyone who is scheduled to pick you up and tell them that you won’t be arriving until later. Often planes can be overbooked, and you can find yourself being offered a deal, which includes money, an overnight stay in a luxury hotel, in a city that you have never been to before. Sometimes it really pays to take up an offer like this. And if you have an open mind and a relaxed attitude then you can make the most of what you are offered.
