Micro-Vacations Defined
- Micro-vacations are short, local trips that give a mental reset without heavy planning or long time off.
- They usually last one to three days and focus on accessible experiences near major cities.
Plan Short Trips Within Two To Three Hours
- Use the 'two to three hours by car or high-speed train' rule to plan a micro-vacation that fits a weekend.
- Pack light and treat it as a spontaneous reset rather than an elaborate trip.
