🌞 Why this is an ideal time to embark on a new assignment! 🌞
Here are some compelling reasons to seize the summer and consider an end-of-summer assignment:
- Beautiful Weather: Take advantage of more opportunities for new places and sightseeing! Summer is the time to explore destinations you may not consider at other times of the year.
- High Demand: The summer vacation season brings an increased demand for travelers, which means greater availability of assignments and perks!
- Less Competition: Fewer clinicians are on the move in the summer. Take advantage of this and secure a preferred assignment and sought-after location.
Maximize fun while on a new assignment
A new assignment doesn’t mean missing out on summer fun! Engaging in local activities can enhance your experience and help you feel more connected to your temporary home. Here are some tips to help you find things to do and make the most of your time off:
- 🔎 Learn about Local Attractions: Stop by tourist centers for local insights or use websites like TripAdvisor and Yelp to scope out top-rated attractions. Join Facebook groups or follow Instagram accounts for local events, and be sure to check out event apps like Eventbrite for nearby activities.
- 👍 Connect with Colleagues: Ask for recommendations and participate in outings. Your coworkers will know the best spots in town!
- 🌄 Get Outdoors: Look for local parks, hiking trails, and nature reserves. Check local listings for seasonal events like fairs and festivals, too!
- 🍉 Explore the Culinary Scene: Try new cuisines and dining experiences. Take a guided food tour to sample the best local eats, or visit farmers’ markets for local produce and crafts!
- 🚌 Take a Day Trip: Plan short trips to explore neighboring areas.
- 🎨 Engage in Hobbies: Check out what classes and workshops are available in the area. Find local classes to learn something new or keep up with hobbies while on the road.
Happy exploring!
Fuel up with homemade energy bites
We had a great response to these simple, no-bake energy bites at Vibra Travels, so we thought we’d pass the recipe on to you! Maybe you can share them on your new assignment. They’re made to keep you energized and focused during your busy day and are easy to bring anywhere, providing a tasty and homemade way to maintain energy levels. 💪
Ingredients:
- 1 cup oats
- 2/3 cup coconut flakes
- ½ cup ground flax seeds
- ½ cup honey or agave
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
🥣 Directions: Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl (this may take some muscle because the batter is very sticky!). Cover and place the bowl in the freezer or refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes (this will make it easier to roll into balls). Roll the batter into 24 bite-sized balls. For maximum freshness, store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
