]]>Explore Your City
You may have lived in your city for just a few months or your entire life, but now is the time to truly explore. Treat it as a tourist would and check out the museums, monuments, and trendy hot spots.
Eat Out
Part of discovering a new place is sampling all the culinary delicacies they have on offer. Your favorite restaurant will still be there when you “return from vacation”—now is the time to try out that new bar and visit the best eateries your city has on show.
Get Some Sun
Some like to venture from site to site on their holidays, while others enjoy taking it more chilled and lounging by the pool. Lay out a towel, grab a good book, and lather on the sunscreen—you’re on vacation, after all! Some hotels will also allow you to spend the day by their pool, even if you don’t have a reservation.

Take the time to focus on yourself and do a little pampering. Head off for a spa day or DIY it at home with some nourishing face masks. Schedule a massage, or take a long bath with candles, aromatherapy oils, and soothing music.

]]>Proper Research
Every trip starts with research, and you should do your best to learn as much as you can about the place you’re heading to. Don’t stop at using Google—Instagram, Pinterest, and travel blogs can be an amazing source of travel inspiration.
Roam Around
One of the best ways to find out more about a new city is to get lost in it. By roaming around, you’ll stumble upon dozens of nice spots that didn’t show up in your Google search, and this will make you appreciate them even more.
Locals Know Best
If you don’t have enough time on your hands to roam around and discover the beauty of a new area on your own, asking friends for some pointers is always a good idea. Perhaps your friends have insider knowledge and will be happy to share it with you.

]]>Do Your Research
Before picking the destination you’re going to visit, search for impressions of other travelers online. Travel blogs and Tripadvisor are a great source of unbiased travel reviews, and they’ll give you insight into the place you want to visit and what to expect once you’re there.
Pick the Right Time
Local attractions are popular weekend getaways because that’s the only free time most people have on their hands. You should visit them during work days when possible since you won’t have to deal with big families and organized tour groups.
Come Prepared
Even if you pick the right spot and the perfect time to visit it, you should still come with a face mask on and hand sanitizers in your bag. Maintaining social distancing is also crucial, and you shouldn’t remove your mask as long as you’re surrounded by a huge crowd of people.

]]>No Chores Allowed
If you want to commit to a staycation, ban yourself from doing chores or work. To reap the benefits of your staycation, you need to commit to relaxation and taking some time out.
Switch Off
If you want to fully commit, switch off your phone for a few days. Disconnect from the outside world and take time to fully focus on your own wellbeing.
Plan Some Fun Activities
There are plenty of fun activities you can do indoors. There are all sorts of options from VR to online escape rooms. If this is something you don’t normally do, give it a chance in the spirit of the staycation.
Have a Spa Day
Treat yourself to a spa day. Have a bath, paint your nails, do a face mask. If you live with friends or a partner, treat each other to a massage.
Get a Takeout
Take a break from cooking and order takeout. If eating in front of the TV is the norm for you, set up the table and pretend that you are eating out in your own private restaurant. A couple of candles can make all the difference.

]]>Take New Pictures
Most people don’t take photos of tourist attractions in their own city because they’re used to their beauty, but now’s the best time to capture them in a new light.
Walking Tour
If your city offers free walking tours, you can always try joining one. You can also offer to host a walking tour to someone visiting your city—you’ll end up learning a bunch of new things both ways.
Go Inside
Are there any museums and buildings in your city that you always admired from a distance, but never had a chance to enter? Use the time you have on your hands to fully explore them.
Discover New Places
Even if you feel like you know your hometown like the palm of your hand, there are probably places that you’ve never checked out. Your city is constantly evolving, so take time to discover all the new things it has to offer.
Mini Road Trip
You shouldn’t stop at exploring the city’s downtown. Your local area probably has a lot to offer, so take a road trip to some of the nearby attractions that don’t get as much attention.

]]>Short and Sweet
The shorter your trip is, the less money you’re going to spend. Use your weekends to explore nearby places that you can easily reach in an hour or two. If it takes much longer to reach your desired destination, consider visiting it when you have more free time on your hands.
Free Stay
Always try planning a trip that allows you to skip accommodation fees. Camping is always a great idea, but if you don’t enjoy sleeping outdoors, try visiting places where you have friends and family who can host you.
Split the Cost
It’s always better to hit the road with your friends and family, and not only because you’ll have someone to keep you company. Traveling with a group of people also allows you to split the costs for gas, food, and accommodation—unless you managed to find a free place to stay.

]]>Money Saver
Local travel usually doesn’t come with a high price tag since there are no expensive flights and hotels involved. Even if you don’t have your own car, buses and trains usually come cheap, and you can skip paying for accommodation by planning day trips or staying with your friends and family in other cities.
Regular Trips
If you’re heartbroken about being unable to travel as much as you wanted this year, staycations are here to help you solve this problem. You can hit the road more frequently because trips to nearby attractions require much less planning, time, and energy.
New Perspective
The best thing about staycations is that you’re going to see your own country in a whole new light. You’ll appreciate it much more once you discover all the amazing things it has in store, and learn a lot about your culture and heritage along the way.

]]>Spoil Yourself
If you were staying in a fancy hotel, you would expect breakfast with fresh pastries and great coffee. So why not get these things in advance for your time off? You will have the added advantage of not having to get out of bed early, in case you miss breakfast.
Decorate Your Space
Before your staycation begins, make sure your home is tidy as you don’t want to spend the time cleaning. Invest in some fresh flowers to brighten the space and make you feel special.
Bath Time
Treat yourself to a spa day at home. You can get a beautician to come round and give you a massage and manicure. You can then spend the afternoon relaxing with a glass of champagne in the bath. On a budget? Pick up a couple of face masks and new nail polish from the Dollorama and you’re good to go.
Dine Out
Set yourself a budget and treat yourself to a fancy restaurant locally that you may not have been to before. If you were on vacation, you may splash out, so apply the same logic to your staycation. Go out, feast and enjoy.
Keep your Staycation a Secret
If your family, friends or work colleagues know that your planning to be at home, they may feel more inclined to get in touch and ask for favors. Your time is precious so spend some time away from your screens and turn off your phone. This is your time.
