Philippines: The Essential Tech Detox You Need

In an era where digital devices are an extension of our being, it's imperative that we take the chance to disconnect. If your phone is in front of you, you’re missing the view. And what’s the good in that? SurfYogaBeer, a trailblazer in active and social group travel, champions this concept through our unique getaways to the Philippines.Here's why a technology detox is crucial, scientifically and experientially.

Mental Health:

According to a study in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, reducing time spent on social media significantly lowers feelings of loneliness and depression. Our trips provide an opportunity to step away from screens and engage in real-world interactions, enhancing mental well-being.

Improved Sleep: 

Quality Research in the Sleep Medicine Reviews journal reveals that excessive screen time, especially before bed, can disrupt sleep patterns. The natural environments and physical activities in our Philippines retreats promote healthier sleep habits, away from the blue light of screens.

Enhanced Focus and Creativity:

A study by the University of Illinois highlights that regular breaks from mental tasks improve focus and boost creativity. SurfYogaBeer's itineraries are designed to engage your mind and body in new ways, fostering creativity and focus.

Physical Health:  

Constant technology use encourages a sedentary lifestyle. The American Heart Association suggests that physical activity,like the yoga and surfing in our retreats, significantly reduces the risk of heart disease.

Strengthening Social Bonds: 

Per the American Journal of Preventive Medicine study, face-to-face interactions enhance social bonding and reduce the risk of mental health issues. Our group travel format fosters genuine connections, creating lifelong friendships.

Learning and Growth:

Experiencing new cultures and environments, as highlighted in an article in the Harvard Business Review, broadens perspectives and enhances personal growth. Our Philippines trips offer this enriching experience.

The Fun Factor:

It's not just about health; it's about joy and fun. The beautiful landscapes, adventurous activities, and warm social settings in our trips create unforgettable, enjoyable experiences.

A tech detox (and we recommend the Philippines with us as a nice kick-start)  isn't just beneficial; it's essential for a balanced, healthy, and joyful life. What are you waiting for?
