Travel with the girls is good for your health

Travel is good therapy, and we probably don’t do enough of it. Vacations are essential for health and wellness, but did you know there are health benefits to girls getting away with their friends?  Today we want to focus on why traveling with the girls is good for your health.

Studies show getting away with your friends is good for you! Southern Living Magazine shared information from a study in 2016 that said what we all know, spending time with friends makes us feel good and travel with the girls is good for your health. The science part of it is explained this way, researchers found that hanging out with friends can increase production of oxytocin, the feel good cuddle hormone that our bodies make when we’re happy. There are so many health benefits to travel so make sure to read up on them and remember when you are ready to get away, the laid back island vibe is waiting for you right here at Southernmost!  

There’s no better place to reconnect with the girls than a getaway to the Florida Keys and Key West.  Explore all the beauty and historic charm of the island, the eclectic restaurant’s bars and nightlife, museums, attractions, and unforgettable sunsets.  Who better to do all of this with you than your BFF’s!   Today we are sharing some of our favorite girlfriend getaways at our Key West beach resort.
