Cancel your plans to just keep working and pack those bags.

It’s true, scientific studies from Harvard have proven friendships can extend our life expectancy – so pack your backs for a girls weekend getaway in Perth.

Working 9 to 5 with no holiday breaks, looking after the fam, being connected and engaged in our digital lives almost 24/7 – it’s no wonder we need an escape.

As it turns out science is here to help, as that getaway is set to be vital for your personal health – but more importantly, escaping with your friends is even more so.

The study found the benefits of a getaway with the girls are:

• Lower chances of heart disease
• Produce higher levels of oxytocin
• Help us tolerate pain

So, get the girls together because a girl’s weekend is in order and we have the top spots in Perth for you.
