Summer is here, the weather is fine and the vacations are fast approaching. What are your plans? Are you going to the seaside again, are you going on a discovery tour in a new city or are you enjoying the summer in the cooler mountains? In our multi-part holiday packing guide, we'll show you what you need to pack for your vacation.
A day at the beach
The salty scent in the wind, the calming sound of the sea and the warm sand under your feet. Splashing in the water during the day, tanning in the sun and lingering in the restaurant or beach bar until late into the night after sunset - this is what a beach vacation should be like. But what should you definitely think about when planning a beach vacation?
Protect yourself
The sun provides us with plenty of vitamin D and a good mood, but also harbors some dangers. Never forget to always take enough drinking water with you to the beach and apply a high level of UV sun protection and protect your head and eyes from too much sun. The water and sand also reflect the sunlight, which has a stronger effect on your skin and makes you sweat more. The sweaty water needs to be replaced; isotonic drinks help you to keep your mineral balance under control. In our sustainable TreeBottle your drinks stay refreshingly cold for up to 24 hours and with our TreeCap you always keep a cool head.
Treat yourself to a break
We are available every day and around the clock, answering emails or swiping through social media. The hours fly by and real life passes us by. Your daily screen time - it's frightening, isn't it? Treat yourself to a meditation break, switch off your phone, lie down, forget your everyday thoughts, listen to the sound of the sea and concentrate solely on your breathing for 15 minutes. This simple form of meditation can work wonders and induce deep relaxation in you.
Read yourself into another world
Studies report that reading a lot prolongs life, because regular reading stimulates your brain cells, trains your cognitive abilities and improves your vocabulary and ability to concentrate. When was the last time you read a good book? Use your vacation at the beach to really dive into an exciting adventure, a thriller or a moving novel. Whether analog, digital or as an audio book - the possibilities are almost limitless.
Dare to do something new
Simply lying on the beach, putting work and everyday life on hold and really relaxing is good, no question about it. But if you still want to experience something, the beach and the water offer you a wide range of fun activities. How old were you the last time you flew a kite or threw a frisbee? Discover the underwater world with diving goggles and a snorkel or try your hand at surfing. You can also book professional surfing or diving courses at many vacation resorts. There's plenty to choose from, take a chance and experience something new. With our TreeShorts Swim and Treekinis you will definitely make a great trap for all these activities.
Of course, the list is not complete, but we hope these tips will inspire you with new ideas and activities for your beach vacation. We wish you a great summer at the beach! Be sure to check out our packing guide for your next city trip!
