The Genius Holiday plan: double your time off, without using all your leave allowance

It’s a fact: to perform at your max at work, your mind, body and soul needs a proper amount of time to rejuvenate through the year. Preferably in a glorious environment, a long way from home.

Yet isn’t it always the way. Just as you start to relax and unwind on holiday, your break is coming to an end. If only there were a few more days to really relish and gain the most from your precious time off.

Plus there are destinations on your bucket list you’d love to see next year, but you know the trip is only worthwhile if there is a decent slug of time to spend there.

No matter your seniority at work, as an employee there will be a maximum number of paid days you can take. Even if your allowance is generous, there’s every chance one of your travel companions is constrained by the amount of holiday they have.

Here is a genius plan to more than double your time off, with the same leave allowance and a little careful planning:
