Life is a tough cookie. There are times when things don’t go as planned, when expectations end in disappointments and when you wake up feeling tired every morning. It’s God’s way of telling you to take a deep breath, let go and step back.

It’s time to acquaint yourself with the person you’ve become — and there is no better remedy than finding yourself when lost in nature's wonders. Travel far and wide and chances are you’ll meet yourself.

If everything we’ve said describes your state of mind then it’s time to pack your bags and head to one of these idyllic destinations. Be it the Fjords of Norway or the northern lights of Iceland, your only limits are the boundaries you place upon yourself.

1. Dublin, Ireland

It’s as cliché as it gets — shades of green dotted by the bluest water you’ll ever see. Begin your journey with a hearty Irish breakfast in Dublin, explore the Irish countryside and wander around many medieval castles at your unhurried pace - you’ve no one to impress but yourself.
