Tim Ferriss discusses the concept of the Mini-Retirement" in his book, "The 4-Hour Workweek". In his view one or two week vacations are simply not enough to break free mentally from the old grind at work. He advocates for smaller 1-to-several month long mini-retirements throughout your working lifetime rather than postponing for the sometimes elusive end-of-work retirements that is more common for most people.
He also chooses to travel extensively during his mini-retirements and, fortunately, a number of discount travel sites have sprung up recently that have made it within the financial grasp of more people. Following are some of the discount travel sites I have been able to locate during my research. I also thought these might come in handy for the upcoming holiday travel season. Enjoy!
