Editor’s Note
Have you used PTO to go on a vacation or are you planning on to?
SEO Analyst Stephanie Katz:
Vermont is a very special place for me. Throughout my childhood, I found myself excited about nature strolls, swimming holes, and the country fair every summer. Ankles deep in a shallow creek, I used to sit on the side of a brook and daydream. As I got older, my relationship with nature and the state of Vermont only got stronger.
Two weeks ago I visited the “Green Mountain State” after months of being away and enjoyed the most lovely 34-mile scenic bike ride on the Lamoille River Rail Trail, a sunny-day boat excursion on Lake Champlain, and a one-of-a-kind glassblowing class with a local artist studio in Stowe, Vermont. Plus, nothing compares to the homemade fruit pies from the secret backyard shack (if you know, you know)!
Sr. Digital Outreach Specialist Corey Fuller:
One thing I’m so grateful for in regards to Terakeet’s emphasis on work/life balance is the comfort in using PTO. Earlier this summer, I was able to travel to sunny and beautiful San Francisco to visit some friends, enjoy the weather, and take a step back to relax. California has always been a special place for me in many ways. I was able to visit landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, and even stop in Oakland for a nighttime baseball game.
Marketing Strategist Caroline Withers:
Every summer, my family spends quite a bit of time in Thousand Island Park, NY. My dad’s side of the family was raised there, so it’s always been a special gathering place for us. I’m lucky enough to be able to work remotely there when I want, but I also usually take a week off once a summer to completely unplug and unwind. Whether we’re spending lazy days reading on the dock, biking to Wellesley Island State Park, or boating around the river, we try our best to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, and take advantage of the luck we have to be there.
