If you\u2019ve got two weeks in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-au\/destinations\/europe\/italy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Italy<\/a>, you may try to see Rome, Venice, Florence, Milan, the Amalfi Coast, the Italian Lakes, and more, but still feel like you missed out on other highlights like Sicily and Cinque Terre. If you\u2019ve got a couple of weeks in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-au\/destinations\/asia\/thailand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thailand<\/a>, you\u2019ll likely have to make the hard decision between visiting the Northern or Southern regions &#8211; or only skim the surface of both. This can lead to FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and a jam-packed itinerary which often leaves you more exhausted when you return home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you visit the same travel destination for the second time &#8211; the pressure is off. You\u2019ve already ticked off all the major highlights, so you\u2019ll feel free to go with the flow, explore at your whim, and get off the beaten track. Plus, since you won\u2019t be visiting all the busiest tourist attractions, you\u2019ll spend less time waiting in lines and battling with crowds &#8211; which means more time for fun!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/vit-returning-guests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5 ways we make travel special for returning guests<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/10\/RS14405_170823_Trafalgar__1416-1-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"couple clinking glasses by the sea\" class=\"wp-image-871288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RS14405_170823_Trafalgar__1416-1-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RS14405_170823_Trafalgar__1416-1-1024x683-1-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-there-s-more-pleasure-in-the-familiar\"><strong>There&#8217;s more pleasure in the familiar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever returned to a travel destination and felt a sense of comfort? Whether you seek out your favourite beach, confidently navigate your way around the local market, or head back to your favourite restaurant and savour that same delicious meal &#8211; there\u2019s something so special about visiting your beloved spots. Turns out, there\u2019s science behind that feeling. It\u2019s called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplypsychology.org\/mere-exposure-effect.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cmere exposure effect\u201d<\/a> or the \u201cfamiliarity principle\u201d, where people develop a preference for something after it becomes familiar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you visit a destination for the second time, it will be psychologically more enjoyable, since you\u2019ll have the comfort of familiarity, rather than the apprehension and uncertainty of a first-time visit. So if you want to have the most relaxing trip, you\u2019re probably better off going somewhere you\u2019ve been before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/vit-trafalgar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The 5 tours our VITs book time and time again<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/10\/RS14783_170826_Trafalgar_0624-lpr-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"two travellers overlooking the ocean\" class=\"wp-image-871289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RS14783_170826_Trafalgar_0624-lpr-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RS14783_170826_Trafalgar_0624-lpr-1024x683-1-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-get-more-satisfaction-from-more-frequent-smaller-trips\"><strong>We get more satisfaction from more frequent, smaller trips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you like to take one big trip every year? Or do you prefer to take many shorter trips throughout the year? Science says you\u2019ll actually get more satisfaction from the latter. A 2012 <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10902-012-9345-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study<\/a> found that eight days was the ideal duration of a holiday before happiness and well-being began to diminish.

If you\u2019re looking to get the most out of your holiday, you could try visiting the same travel destination over several, shorter trips &#8211; rather than one big marathon trip that may leave you more exhausted than when you started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/carol-trafalgar-guest-40-tours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meet Carol, the Trafalgar guest who&#8217;s been on 40 tours and counting<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-ll-get-to-explore-beyond-the-surface\"><strong>You\u2019ll get to explore beyond the surface<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when you\u2019ve lived somewhere for years, you never truly see and explore everything &#8211; especially since places are always changing over time.
