Remedy to Vacation and Anxiety

Welcome home!

that special something you need on vacation

Have you ever felt super excited to go on vacation and yet, anxious at the same time? We have good news for you! We will help you get to the root of the issue so you can go confident on your long deserved vacation leaving behind any anxiety.  

Why do I feel anxious right before my vacation

First of all, you are not the only one! Many people feel this anxiety before leaving for vacation. This is even truer for those people who tend to be in control of everything happening around them. Going on vacation is something absolutely beautiful because of the new places you will see, the people you will meet, the wonderful experiences just waiting for you to happen, the relax and the fun. 

All this is good stuff but it also means you have to explore the unknown and that is exactly why some people start to stress out. 

The trick? Familiarize with your itinerary before you leave, this will help you a great deal. Hard to believe? Let’s do a quick and simple experiment: picture yourself in a pitch dark room trying to find the door or the light switch…you will be most likely moving very slowly with your hands straight in front of you to feel any obstacles that might be in your way and afraid to trip over something. 

You get the idea right?

Now, picture the same situation but this dark room is your bedroom, you will be absolutely fine because here even in the darkness of the night, because it is a very familiar place and you know exactly where the door or the light switch is so you have nothing to fear.

The same concept can be applied for your vacation anxiety, the more familiar you are with the itinerary, the less stressed you will be.

Agriturismo Serafina

What else can you do to enjoy your vacation?

Easy! You need to carefully select and trust the company planning your vacation. A company like BeeYond Travel falls into the “boutique” Tour Operator category so that means we have chosen to work with fewer clients but service them completely from start to end. We have also chosen to only specialize in few selected regions of Italy: Puglia and Sicily so we can really focus on these areas.

What does this all mean? It means that we are able to add the personal element often missed and so important for you. It means we personally know every villa, every supplier and this allow us to better match your needs. 

In addition, we have chosen to only work with those suppliers who share our same vision because they truly are an extension of our Team.

Real people, real stories

An example is our latest addition to the Villas/Accommodations portfolio: Agriturismo Serafina in Otranto. We have personally known the family behind this oasis of paradise in one of the most idyllic area all over Italy and in the world. Although they have this incredible place, their accommodations are geared to a clientele different from our typical Traveller so we could not work together. 

Until now!!!

All this changed when they decided to build the first and only apartment which matches our Travellers needs. We could not be happier to add this apartment to our inventory because the apartment is only the beginning of your incredible vacation. Upon check-in, you will immediately feel “at home” and with “Family”; everything will feel right and now the circle is closed…you can “let go”, because there is nothing else that can stop you from having an amazing vacation. When you come back, you will be thanking us for connecting you with such amazing people and the out-of-this-world homemade pastries prepared directly by Gabriella daily.

The wine tour is definitely among the top experiences available in this extraordinary region of Puglia. It is an experience that allow Travellers  to get an idea of what winemaking means. Few hours topped with a wine tasting. 

It is a beautiful experience and that is why it is one of the most popular experiences while on vacation in Puglia.  It is so popular, we always got interesting feedback. Since we LOVE to listen, we have decided to make this experience a bit longer…7 nights longer! 

What does it mean

We have managed to put together a seven nights vacation: The winemaking Tour Puglia. This tour will be focused in the area where the Primitivo di Manduria, renowned all over the world, is produced. You will spend your days harvesting, tasting the best Apulian products, visiting quaint villages, taking part in Ceramic workshop and much more.

A vacation package for winelovers, families, good friends, and all those Travellers looking for the next vacation with a twist.

Sunday lunch in Puglia

Add a place to the table

the Sunday lunch in Puglia

Il Lupo e La Rondine

In Puglia, people gather all together on Sunday for lunch. The whole week, everybody awaits nothing else but this moment.

It is the official “sacred” time when people make time to sit around a table to tell stories, talk about moments of past life and endless days of work.

We are used to hectic rhythms of life. Those rhythms, very often keep us away from the family, we have lunch at different times, and very often we meet only at the end of the day.

But why is Sunday in Puglia so important?

The day begins calmly, no alarm sounds, no particular burden. The delicious smell of ragù coming from the kitchen makes you wake up.

You get up, and you reach the mother in the kitchen who, the moment she sees you, she  gives you a kiss on the forehead (even if you are 40 years old 😊) and prepares you coffee.

Then the morning flows slowly, some people get ready to go to Mass,  others watch TV, go to the piazza (popular squares in Italy where people gather) to chat with friends, others decide to read a book. At lunchtime, the doorbell starts to ring like crazy: the members of the family return home, to get all together.

You sit at the table and the real party begins: a luculian lunch awaits the lucky diners.

Focaccia, taralli, bruschetta with tomato, and then the Sunday prince: the ragù. To complete a good dessert, coffee and liqueur.

Sunday lunch is slow. You sit at a certain hour but you don’t get up for at least three hours. It is now late afternoon, and the day has passed lightly, between chatter and smiles.

How nice would it be to relive one of these typically Apulian moments on vacation? We at Beeyond Travel want to give you this Apulian dream. We want you to sit at the table with us, we want you to taste the same ragù prepared by our mothers, we want to invite you to our home.

There is nothing better than returning to your home and tell everyone that you have been to an Apulian lunch. It is a serious matter!

Our idea is to offer you an absolutely authentic, unprecedented gastronomic experience. We will welcome you among the olive trees and vineyards of the Itria Valley, in the beating heart of Puglia. That true soul that made Puglia one of the most sought-after regions.

Sunday lunch is part of that Italian style that is so popular abroad, it is that part that makes people from Puglia so unique.

As we move along, from time to time, we will be presenting the experiences we offer. We call them “puzzle pieces”. Have you ever worked on a puzzle? The most beautiful puzzles have a lot of pieces, it takes a long time and patience to put all the pieces together, but the smile on your face when you put that last piece of the puzzle in place, stretches from ear to ear. Doesn’t it?

When we put together a vacation, we use the best “puzzle pieces” so even if for a short time, we want you to feel like you are living a dream while you are on vacation. In Puglia this is possible!

This post is all about the importance of the Sunday lunch in Puglia, so we have decided to start with an experience that, in our opinion, sums up what it means to enjoy life: The Sunday Lunch! Click below to get an idea of what it means to sit at the lunch table in Puglia.

So, should we add a seat at the table for you?

Architects of dreams: the job of the travel agent

Architects of dreams

the job of the travel agent

Il Lupo e La Rondine

By Il Lupo e La Rondine for BeeYond Travel

There are jobs that everyone knows, such as the doctor, the lawyer, the accountant. If a friend said, “I am an architect!” we would immediately imagine in our minds dealing with projects, houses and many, many drawings.

What if this same friend says, “I’m a travel agent or travel designer”, what would we think about?

Today let’s try to answer this question together. “What does the travel agent do?”

No, it is not just one who travels the world at advantageous prices, if that is what you are thinking, you are on the wrong track. That’s part of the job, perhaps the least relevant.

The travel agent plans, he plans everything.

He is the expert that people turn to when they want to travel. Traveling is a serious matter, and it should be treated as such. He studies the markets, deals with budgeting, juggles invoices and suppliers, studies new destinations and new targets to which direct the attention.

But with a little more magic. Planning a trip means, in most cases, fulfilling a dream.

The travel agent is an architect of dreams. When a family enters the agency or relies on an online professional, they want the year-round savings to be spent on a vacation they will remember forever. When a young man decides to leave, he expects his money to give him adventure, relaxation, art and fun. When a manager has to take a plane to a conference on the other side of the world, he does not want to think about anything but his job, expecting to find all the comforts on arrival.

We at BeeYond Travel have all the needs of our potential customer in mind. We know that our travelers want an unforgettable vacation, they wants to sleep in an out of the ordinary place, perhaps with swimming pool and sea view, the splendid sea of ​​Puglia.

Our customers want to taste the typical products and maybe learn how to make them and be able to make them back home even long after the vacation is over, they want to sail the sea on a yacht and enjoy the sunset, they want to be helped to create memories they can carry in their hearts forever.

Like any profession, travel agents also expect feedback, which is not just the reviews on the company website or on TripAdvisor.

Our most beautiful feedback is your smile, a smile that you will take home, a natural smile captured on photo forever, so beautiful that when people meet you on the street they will say: “Here it is, that beautiful vacation smile!“.

So going back to our question, it should be very clear what a travel agent does.

He is a professional, he is an expert planner, he is also a little psychologist which understand exactly what his travelers want, he is a friend and confidant.

A true travel agent is your travel companion, he will always be with you at all times during your vacation, making sure everything is perfect and magical.
