Tips and photos: the benefits of a staycation

In recent years, the concept of 'staycation' has gained increasing popularity. Although its peak occurred during the pandemic, it continues to be the favorite option for many people.

The term 'staycation' is a neologism that combines the words 'stay' and 'vacation'. In essence, it is about organizing a vacation without leaving home or, at most, in the immediate vicinity.

A 'staycation' doesn't just mean staying at home, but involves dedicating time and attention to relaxation and enjoyment, as you would during a traditional vacation.

The goal is to discover unexplored places around your city or region without making long trips or travels. Maybe you can do it on weekends if you are not available to travel during the week.

A tip for organizing a perfect 'staycation' is to get a map on which to mark all the points of interest that you think are worth visiting.

Possible activities include excursions to discover natural beauties, visits to museums, dinners in restaurants never tried before, festivals, fairs, and events. The main objective must be to live an unforgettable experience and return to your own bed at night.

Since you don't have to plan long trips or hotels, you can organize your 'staycation' at the last minute, deciding to travel by car, bus, train, or bike for a day.

You could either decide to stay in a B&B for a night or, if you are a true 'staycation' purist, go straight back to your comfortable home.

Besides not having the stress of organizing long trips and transfers, one of the main advantages of the 'staycation' is certainly the low cost. When visiting neighboring areas, you save at the bottom line.

Another advantage is sustainability: by organizing a 'staycation' you will not need to take any plane or cruise ship. In this sense, the planet will thank you!

Compared to other types of travel, perhaps to the other side of the world, deciding to stay home and visit the surrounding areas will be much easier to plan. It will not require detailed long-term planning with visa applications, transport, etc.

The advantage of this type of vacation is the significant reduction of stress in favor of greater relaxation. You avoid travel-related complications such as delays or logistical planning.

In short, deciding to opt for a 'staycation' allows us to appreciate what we often take for granted, such as the beauty and leisure opportunities that surround us and that we may not know about yet!
