It's that time of year! We all have vacation on the mind. And we've already argued that, if we pay attention, vacation can be a spiritual practice.

But now, mom and influencer, Kiara Ruth is here with us to lay out some practical steps to make vacation meaningful.

Each of us took away a new idea, and we think you will too! Join us, and get ready for your best vacations yet!

Top 5 Ways to Make Vacation Meaningful

1. Margin, margin, margin. 

    A - Take advantage of the travel time to have meaningful conversations. 

    B - Give yourself extra time at the end of the trip to re-enter daily life. 

    C - Schedule some "unscheduled time" together and see what happens! 

2. Immerse yourself in local culture. 

3. Invite your friends. 

4. Have a sit down dinner with the GratiKube. 

5. Capture the memories in a way you'll remember/revisit.
