Women Want to Travel

A recent survey found out that over 25% of women asked what they most wanted as a gift, said they wanted to travel.

And so much so, that nearly 70% were prepared to pay for it themselves.

So, for the fellas out there, when it comes to the loved one in your life, don’t always rely on the chocolates, flowers, or DVD option; get your hands in your pockets and treat them to a special trip away. And don’t think that’s a trip to Margate, or Southend.

But the fact that so many women are prepared to pay for their own break, is maybe a warning to their partners to cough up and contribute, or risk being left behind.

And it turns out that women want to travel so much because for many, it means a release from the daily drudge of their lives, which comes down to running the household, looking after the kids and working. Travel simply means not having to juggle all those responsibilities for a week, or two, and that, in the eyes of most women, is bliss.

And women further let on that their most favoured kind of travelling is to a spa (to be pampered, not necessarily to follow a health regime), a cruise, or being treated to a no-frills package tour.

Now a Spa is a good choice, because they are something that women can visit with their friends, without travelling too far, and happily, guilt-free, leave their partner and kids at home.

But although a trip to the Spa need not necessarily involve a complicated trip, think how much better it is when combined with a cruise, or indeed, a package holiday.

The common denominator is of course that each option involves someone else doing the work. A Spa is all about being looked after and being pampered, likewise with a cruise, where all you have to think about is the sun lounger and getting to the food on time; and, with a package, once again, all things are handled by the holiday company. All you have to do is sit back and relax.

So, if the woman in your life starts hinting about a bit of travel, take heed, otherwise you might find she’ll do it anyway, with, or without you
