We’ve all been through a very tough year. Uncertainty and anxiety are the best two words to describe last year. Losses, quarantine, social distancing used up us. The only good outcome of this suffering is that it helped us to understand what really matters the most. To cherish our beloved ones, to not live for working but to work for living, to invest in good memories rather than things we’ll never use, just to name a few. Another outcome of 2021 is we’re now aware that our soul can be healed and renewed with nature focused holidays, not with mass tourism.

The Best Treatment for 2022: Boat Holiday and Sea

Though not as much as the holiday itself, starting to plan 2022 holidays will definitely make you happier.

Long awaited, Welcome 2022!

Sea is one of the best options to get rid of the pessimist mood of 2021. Because seas symbolize immensity and freedom. Whereas in one year, we had to endure many limits and borders, lost a great deal from our freedom, haven’t we? We couldn’t come together and couldn’t share a laugh with our families and friends, we couldn’t hug each other and got stuck in our homes. And what separated us was not mountains or long distances but a tiny virus. Thankfully, we never gave up, always found ways to support each other. We’ll get over this pandemic following the precautions and of course, thanks to vaccines developed by scientists. We are now able to dream about bright days.

We left behind the longest year of our lives. Now we all want to shake and purify ourselves. As GotoSailing.com, we highly recommend you to go on a sailing holiday with your beloved ones this year, with keeping your social distance and staying away from mass tourism.
