I'm going to have a few weeks off in March or April and I would like to use that time to explore some new places -- but I want to find a way to recharge at the same time.
I am not very well traveled but when I have traveled in the past, I usually feel like I have to build up a heavy itinerary of landmarks, museums, and cultural experiences on international trips. Even on domestic trips, I try to exhaust everything in an area to make it 'worth' it. That's pretty exhausting.
Something I'd love to do instead is find a trip where I don't really have to plan much: to go somewhere and have a lot of options to just observe / participate in things without much advance notice.
Perhaps I should be looking at resorts, but I think I would get restless if confined to one area for too long. I like to move around.
I'm on the US East Coast so I feel like the most convenient options will be in the US, Europe, or South America, but I'm really open to anything. I'd like to stay at ~5k USD a week but if there's something really worth doing I'd probably just go for it.
