What’s the appeal of girlfriend getaways? Healthy Woman website blogger Stacey Feintuch turns to science for answers about why these trips are vital to every woman’s sensibilities, mental health, and well-being. For example, hanging out with your squad can be as helpful as a therapy session, and you don’t have to pay your girls to listen to your frustrations!
Feintuch turned to a Behaviour Journal study for more evidence. She found that hanging out with your posse has the power to trigger an oxytocin release, which is the neurotransmitter known as the love or trust hormone. In other words, girls’ trips release “happy hormones.” The best news of all? Women who take these breaks live longer and experience less dementia. Further, if you can think of a better way to let loose, we’d love to hear about it.
This Caribbean island was made for girlfriend escapes
In case you haven’t kept up with news about the top Central American hot spots because you’re busy juggling family and work, you may not know that English-speaking Belize is mecca for women who want to go abroad but haven’t time to learn another language. How does a beautiful island off the Belize coast sound to you and your friends? Manta Island Resort on Glover’s Reef makes an ideal sanctuary for groups like yours.
Get your peeps onboard. Pool your funds and reserve a Manta accommodation that hosts up to five, or go all out and book the reef villa that comes with a plunge pool. Need both villas? That can be arranged, especially since Manta’s All Inclusive Package saves so much money.
What can you expect from a Manta girlfriend holiday?
Blogger Karen Shayne asked why women love girls’ trips so much. Here are some of the ways your gaggle of girls will benefit from this vacation:
- Bond with besties in ways that are impossible when family and jobs occupy every waking moment
- Having heart-to-heart talks are hallmark of a successful woman’s hiatus
- Participants can relax “without anyone asking for the 18th time where their socks are!” Shayne notes
- Exploring new destinations as a group is a blast
- Access to myriad recreational opportunities gives everyone opportunities to try new things
- Girlfriend trips celebrate the diversity of friendships and the joy resulting from collective experiences
- “There’s something undeniably empowering about being surrounded by women who uplift and inspire each other,” Shayne adds.
