If you're looking to book a holiday, it's likely that you are in need of a break from something, whether it be your occupation, your situation, or just your day-to-day life (unless your life is composed of perpetual travel, in which case you probably already consider yourself lucky). Every person has an individual preference when it comes to what constitutes an enjoyable trip away, whether it be shopping, sunbathing, visiting museums, or death-defying stunts like participating in a tandem skydive. Funnily enough, those who are taking breaks from very stressful jobs will often select heart-stopping activities to tackle on holidays, and it's not unusual for busy CEOs to take personal days off to play racecar driver on a Ferrari experience.

For those of us who are at the 'sit on the beach drinking out of a coconut shell' end of the holidaying spectrum, it can be challenging enough just to understand why anyone in their right mind would engage in most extreme sports, and the idea of careening around tight corners as part of a Lotus experience are almost alien to us. Especially considering that thrillseekers often have enough stressful influences in their lives, why would they volunteer for extra heart palpitations? When it comes down to it, though, the thrill-seeking types of pressure situations affect people through a totally different mechanism than the average hard day at the office. When a person is in the driver's (or sometimes the passenger's) seat during a Porsche experience, they experience a burst of endorphins and adrenaline, commonly known as a 'rush'. This 'high' can be addictive, and many people keep going back to high-risk sports to experience it over and over again.

If it still sounds a little much for you, don't lose hope. You can experience the happy endorphins by indulging in some strenuous physical exercise, as well. Runners experience 'The Wall', where it becomes extremely difficult to continue, but once they move past this, many people report a rush, like they're floating on air. These are the body's natural highs. If you just want to be seen in a flashy car, though, you can just ride along as a leisurely passenger, maybe through the streets of your own neighbourhood instead of around a racetrack. Booking a casual Aston Martin experience may be your ideal break from reality after all.
