You’ve probably heard of Blue Monday, the “most depressing day of the year” – supposedly. But that’s not based on any scientific evidence. Blue Monday was “calculated” using a pseudoscientific formula that has since been debunked. Yes, January is usually a time to hibernate and recover from the madness of December. But that doesn’t mean you have to be bored and miserable. We’ve teamed up with GetYourGuide to make sure your 15th January is one to remember. They’re dropping codes on their social media channels and website for FREE experiences during the day, so you can treat yourself to some epic adventures.
