A lot people, even tight friends of mine, going once a year to a vacation. In general, it is more likely that people want to go to one long vacation rather then several short one. In my opinion, to having some short vacations is more pleasant, there are more opportunities and also some advantages, which I try to explain in the following sentences. But of course, this attitude is my personal view and depends on a lot aspects, like money, time and how one is able schedule everything.
Firstly, I can visit more places. I prefer this more, because I am not the kind of guy who likes to hanging around for weeks at the beach, or making sightseeing all the vacation through. By more vacations a year, I am able to see more from the world. Let me show you what I mean. Within about ten hours I am in places like Italy, France or England, by car and without great circumstances, so I do not have to stay there for longer then six to eight days. It is so easy to go there, additionally because I do like to drive my car, that I prefer to do it not just once a year. I am flexible and not bound to something, therefore, I enjoy to do it this way.
Secondly, it saves money. Everybody knows the moment at the end of the month, when sometimes the budged goes tight. So much bills to pay like rent, car and other every day expenses. If I would go to one huge vacation in a time, my bank account would been empty, due to the end of the month. This would cause severe issues. For example I need my car also to go to the university, which is about thirty five kilometers away in Magdeburg, moreover, I could quit my studys without a car. Here it is essential to have a little cushion, regarding to money, so I am able to make sure every bill is paid in time. That is a great fact for me, why to choose several short vacations instead of one long.
In conclusion, one long vacation would not suite me because I do like to visit a lot of places. Here are more opportunities to gain my mind and socialize with other people. Furthermore, It is more pleasant to my walled, which means, I am able to have by short vacations, both, the vacation and the daily equipment like a car and a good flat. Surely are also some advantages in long vacations, like more time to relax and going further away, but to me currently, to have short vacations is more plausible. For these reasons are shorter vacations better, in point of view…
