Hello there. I also like to travel. If you want to travel to relax, I suggest that you visit your own country's tourist spots before travelling abroad. My country Philippines also has many places to visit and I believe that we are one of the low rates in hotels, accomodations and others. It depends on the budget you are alloting for the travel, your days to travel, etc

I find going to a tropical beach very relaxing and enjoyable. I can have a lovely time walking across the white sandy beach. I can do some snorkeling around the coral reef. A destination like the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam or Indonesia would be a superb choice for budget prices. I think camping in your own tent or a thatched beach hut would be very economical. I suggest self catering rather than eating out all the time. Good luck with finding a relaxing destination to enjoy time in.

What is relaxation in our view, the people busy, always on the run? A moment that you always say that to you once you allow it. Once ... on holiday in hammock on vacation or waterfront pa mountain paths or when daily business end well? Obsessive live with a sense of permanent emergency. And usually relax postpone until long tick list of priorities on what we do. But we have to do ever finish? Frankly, I do not know if I succeed, but I never got. And I'm sure too many long-delayed relaxation. I am convinced, however, that relaxation time does not depend on any list of priorities or because it is rather a quality of heart that I could access very easy. We can relax now, I am writing you, perhaps, breaking five minutes of your life to read what I wrote ... relaxing to me. But for this, you need to learn to speak with optimism of life events, less pleasant events to transform the experience of privacy as such. For a positive feeling brings another positive feeling. And so on until you fill your heart with joy. And a happy heart knows it's not good for relaxation time than the present.

Travelling outside our city could indeed broaden our horizons and ease our minds.I plan to go other countries when i'm on holidays.It's such a great enjoyment to go to such places like the beach and the blue sky with clean air.I just can't resist the temptation of such a beautiful scenery.I feel so relaxed and comfortable.Far away from people and busyness.

It depends on where you are currently residing and your currency. It also depends on the number of days you can afford to spare for the trip. I would suggest Penang (Malaysia) or Taiwan. But if you are planning to go on your own (ie. free and easy)and if you are not able to speak Mandarin, then maybe you should give these places a miss for now. You may want to visit Macau. At leastt the people there can understand English.

Do research for the tourist spots in your country, cheap good deals and find what interest you and start from there. Traveling doesnt just give you relaxation but also help widen your knowledge and experience and to top it off, the memories that you will cherish for the rest of your life.

I personally,do not know of a specific place.It depends on whether you prefer hot or cold climate.You may like it in the quiet,beautiful, cool mountains or on a quiet,warm,beautiful beach.How far do you want to go from your home? Do you want to cook for yourself,have room service,a hotel with a restaurant in it or walk to a nearby restaurant?I am not sure how much privacy you want.Also work that you want to do. If you do not mind cooking and cleaning for yourself then you might consider camping in a wooded area,beach area or in the mountains. Good luck and have fun.

I was not very fond of traveling before when my life was tension free and stress less. I used to enjoy it more at home!LOL But recently my view has been changed regarding this and I do find traveling to be so much exciting and relaxing. It energizes you in a new way to confront the world again :) For relaxing, it's not always necessary to go out to other countries one can also find good places within their own country for traveling just for a change. However, I think many Asian countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia etc. are good for budget traveling.

I guess, you can search around your place - find a serene place like the ones near the beach. The sound of the waves help one relaxes his or her mind. It soothes your emotions especially if you are under stress. I can help you out if you are from the Philippines.

Myself, I have just begun to travel again after many many years of not traveling. And I am finding traveling very stressful all by itself. I do not believe that there is a perfect place to begin with. And I am finding most places to be expensive. It depends on what you consider to be expensive. For some persons, $50 is expensive and for some persons $200 is expensive. How about a cruise booked through a travel agent. If you can afford it, let someone else do the work for you. Get on a cruise and let them pamper you.
