Every year, after the festive season, we are encouraged to get healthier by eating nutritiously and exercising more. For some, the new year is a time to make resolutions, to change bad habits and turn our lives around. To every New Year jogger, I say, well done and keep it up!
However, you might be, like me, an all-year-round exercise aficionado and already have a favourite sport you practise and can’t do without. Some of us just need that rush of endorphins!
The thought of lying around a pool or on the beach is still appealing to sports lovers, but you can guarantee we will also be doing regular laps of the pool, swimming in the sea and jogging along the beach!
You may have a sport you excel in or just particularly love and wish to incorporate into your holiday. Whether it’s skiing, cycling, canoeing, rowing, horseback riding, windsurfing, hiking, running marathons, diving, snorkelling, sailing, attending a tennis academy, or doing a triathlon, we at Charitable Travel can make that dream come true. Oh, and if it’s just you who wants to be active, your travelling companion can just relax or spend time in the spa! The Body Holiday on St Lucia is a great choice as you have spa treatments included but they also offer a wide range of water sports.
Some lovely walking holidays caught my eye recently. Doing some of the Camino Way in Spain, walking between Granada and Cordoba, through the Italian or French vineyard regions, or the lush green mountainous crags of Slovenia. It doesn’t have to be a hard slog every day. If you want to take your time and stay in lovely character properties along the way, all this is possible. You can even have your luggage transported for you, to save wear and tear on your back!
Or maybe you just love watching sports, from cricket in Barbados or Sri Lanka, following the Formula 1 in Abu Dhabi, or the round-the-world yacht races – whatever you fancy, we’ve got you covered. We can arrange your flights and accommodation and often secure tickets to the big events.
So, whether you choose to try out a new activity or practise sport this year or just watch from the sidelines, make this the year you fulfil your dreams.
