You know those jet-setters who insist on jam-packed itineraries? Who schedule multiple museum visits and Michelin-star meals between morning hikes and nightly raves? There's a time and place for hectic travel, sure. But for Popsugar contributor Jessica Ourisman, that place and time was decidedly not on a trip to Mallorca this past spring.
The writer indulged in what travel enthusiasts are calling a "calmcation," a branch of wellness travel that prioritizes inner peace. As Jessica writes for PS, a calmcation is meant to provide "a mental and emotional reset" — something you can take back to your everyday life at home that's infinitely better than an airport tchotchke. (Though we love those, too.)
The calmcation is the opposite of adventure travel; even "soft adventure" is too much exertion for a committed calmcationer. A calmcation is an invitation to sit on your butt and do nothing. And with summer finally peeking its head out from behind the clouds, it's exactly what you need right now.
