If you have a boss that’s a little stingy with the annual leave approvals, a bestie that needs a bit more convincing or parents that keep saying “But you JUST went on a holidays!” then read on\u2026<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just in case you don\u2019t have enough reasons already, here are some perfectly sensible excuses to convince even the most stubborn of bosses\/pals\/Mums and Dads, that you really really NEED that holiday you’re eyeing off \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

1. Fresh air (say goodbye to that tuna sandwich office smell)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Every human needs it, especially us office workers. Fresh air does wonders for your skin, your brain and your stress levels. It\u2019s a simple thing, but a little extra oxygen and a few deep breaths of the clean, crisp stuff of the great outdoors is good for the soul.<\/p>\n

Inspo:<\/strong>\u00a0Breathe in all the fresh air in\u00a0New Zealand<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Active lifestyle without the gym<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Since you\u2019re on holidays, you won\u2019t be stuck in traffic for a couple hours a day or sitting at your desk eating all the foods you\u2019re probably not going to work off later. You\u2019ll be outside, exploring new cities and swimming in calm lakes or even cycling around the Grand Canyon! If you\u2019re more into the party side of things, you\u2019ll be dancing like a maniac in sweaty clubs and walking home from the bar – plenty of exercise! Sneaky tip, stay hydrated! #waterisyourfriend \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Inspo:<\/strong> You’ll get plenty of exercise party style on the Gold Coast <\/a>and there\u2019s loads of outdoorsy activities on the Sunshine Coast<\/a><\/p>\n
