Could you go on holiday without your phone?

Maybe, but it depends what you usually use it for.

To check in with what’s happening at home? No, that’s why you’ve gone away – to get away from things and experience something new.

To check out what’s available in the local area? Yes, the internet can highlight the incredible sights and activities nearby.

And what about taking photos? If you don’t take a camera, a camera on your phone can capture the must-have photos that will help the memories live on.(And you don’t need to Instagram/Pintrest everything).

Want to get offline and share fun activities?

Make sure you schedule time to spend with friends and family. Sharing experiences with friends and family, forms closer connections and bonds and deepens relationships.
