Sometimes, wanderlust can be cured by a change of scenery.
Staycation is a portmanteau of two words: stay and vacation, and it means taking a holiday in your home country. As the world is still grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic, staycation has become the new vacation for every travel lover. Plus, there’s no need to stress over pre-trip planning, you can simply pack light and get some well-deserved rest from your daily grind.
Staycation is the New Vacation
Staycation also provides similar experiences to taking a trip abroad, you check into a new place, explore the amenities and experiences nearby, but without the need for passport and long travelling time.
2020 has indeed challenged my perspective on the nature of travel – exploring one’s home country is also a form of travel. Have you ever wondered how this little red dot has attracted a steady flow of tourists from around the world over the years?
It’s time to find out when you sign up for one of these unique local tours. The historic buildings that we’ve never seen before, nature parks we’ve never visited, and with a little effort on our part, we’ll be able to experience new and exciting things close to home.
