Experiencing a different environment | Experience Days from GettingPersonal.co.uk
2 September 2009
People are such persistent creatures of habit. Any slight hint of change in their lives can throw them off kilter and put them instantly into a state of confusion. Repetition and daily routine make us feel secure, so that we know what to expect next, but we still often crave a little change. Many of us enjoy travelling on holiday to foreign parts, to experience new cultures, different foods, and to enjoy completely different landscapes. It is usually when we are away on holiday that we are most prepared to try out something new, entertain the sunbathers on the beach with our atrocious water skiing skills, have a go at scuba diving, order a plate of snails or squid, and be utterly adventurous. We even wear bright and brash summer clothes, such as Hawaiian shirts on the beach, that we would not even dream of wearing back home.
All it takes for us to open our minds to a new experience, is to remove ourselves from the familiarity of our daily lives, and there we are, acting like kids in a playground, eager to be the first to have a go at something unusual. Experiencing a different environment is what a week or two on holiday is all about. But what is to stop us from maintaining that way of thinking once we return home again and the tan is disappearing before our very eyes? Perhaps it is just the fact that we do not find the opportunity to do something new all that often. There is so much out there just waiting for us all to discover.
Experience days
make great gifts for anyone of any age and you will be amazed at the variety of experiences that are just there for the trying. Your eyes will be opened by the different environments that experience days will take you to. Whether it is a special gift that you are looking for on an important occasion, or a little treat for someone you love, experience days are a great way of trying out something new. You can even treat yourself to a few experience days too, because you know that you, of all people, deserve it.
In order to put yourself in a different environment you need to be in a completely different kind of place from where you spend your everyday life, and what better place to start than in the sky. There are heaps of fabulous experience days for those who like a little adventure. You can enjoy a thrilling helicopter ride over London, and count how many famous landmarks you can see. This is a brilliant way of getting a feel for the size of this wonderful city and the surrounding area, as well as an exciting and special way to travel. The Helicopter Tour over London gives you the chance to be a privileged passenger in a Jet Ranger or Bell 206L-Long Ranger. Perhaps you would enjoy one of the
experience days
that offer you a chance to go gliding, and see what it feels like to be a bird in flight. You can enjoy the Gliding at Booker Gliding Club, which enables you to take 3 gliding flights and tuition as well as a whole month's membership, which means that you can go back and get a slice of more of this fabulous and exhilarating experience at reduced rates.
Alternatively you can try your hand at flying a light airplane or helicopter. Another totally different environment is water, and being underwater and getting a feel for what it must be like to be a marine creature or mermaid is beyond words. With a Scuba Diving Experience Gift for Two you will receive instruction from a qualified PADI instructor before you immerse yourself in the pool, to experience the joy and freedom of scuba. If you like total silence, you will love experience days like this. All you can hear is the bubbles as they leave your mouth and float up to the surface. This is one of the many experience days that could introduce you to a new hobby, and one that could take you to many interesting new environments around the world. Another one of the experience days that offer you a luxurious time in peace and quiet is a Floatation Therapy Session, where you can relax and clear your mind in this unusual but soothing environment. Experience days like this one are enjoyed by one person, so you can enjoy the feeling of calm, think nice thoughts and forget about the busy schedule that awaits you out in the real world.
Experience days
that show you something new are an inspiration that will leave you wanting to try out more new environments.
