How to Cleverly Use Layovers to Get Two Trips In One:

This year I developed a whole new appreciation for adding layovers to my trips. Routing your flights via stopovers — and then adding some extra time to leave the airport and stay a night — is just such an amazing way to add some variety to a trip. And the best part? It doesn’t even have to cost anything extra.

Recently I spent 36 hours in Istanbul on my way to Georgia. And earlier this year I flew to Thailand via Singapore and flew back with an 18-hour layover in Beijing. These layovers were so much fun that I’m now punching myself in the head for not having done these a lot more.

The Secret to Happiness? Spend Money on Experiences, Not Things.

Many things make us happy. We get the latest iPhone, pair of shoes or splurge on an expensive dinner and we instantly feel satisfaction. Fast forward a month or two and that satisfaction has faded away.

In this day and age, we’ve adapted to these material gifts – the increased availability of it and the constant version upgrades of these gifts makes it less exciting after a while.

Experiences on the other hand has been proven to be a stronger happiness booster as it takes longer to adapt to them and they create greater imprints in our memories.

Experiences are also less likely to be compared to other gifts as they purely unique. You can always compare the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 7 but comparing a surfing lesson to an iPhone 7 is a completely different story.

Not only are experiences unique, they usually incorporate social involvement. Going fishing or going rafting will develop the bond between a relationship with other participants, further enhancing happiness.

The effort of providing the experience to a friend and being present during it is a gift in itself. Often people just want to have fun with others and have people that they can relate to and appreciate what their hobbies are.

Gifting an experience is more than just one present, it also indicates how much you are willing to go a step further to understanding what type of likes and dislikes someone has.

When I look back on the past year, the things that stand out the most are the activities I’ve taken part in, the memories I’ve made through exciting experiences. If I try to recall the material goods that I’ve obtained, yes they were really great at the time, but looking at them they’ve already started devaluing to me.

So if your goal is to give a memorable gift that will have a longer appreciation period, ditch the box and ribbon and give an experience. The memories they’ll make will be well worth it compared to a material gift.

News!

The US Department of Homeland Security has confirmed it will increase Student and Exchange Visitor Program fees for international students on F and M visas by 75% and the school certification petition fee by 76%, in a move it says will continue to fund operations.
The rise in the “SEVIS fee” that international students pay will increase to $350, up from the previous $200, which some US stakeholders have noted they expect could have a negative impact on US enrolment numbers.

Exchange visitors on au pair, camp counsellor, and summer work travel programs will continue to pay $35, but other exchange visitors on J visas will also see an increase from $180 to $220.
