Not sure about your holiday plans this year (or the next); why not try a staycation? A staycation is a vacation that you spend at home, and if you plan it correctly it can be just as good as a holiday anywhere else.
Set up your space in advance
Make sure your home is setup for maximum relaxation. Don’t leave duties or chores for your staycation.
Do the touristy things
Are you always avoiding those popular landmarks or attractions that the visitors typically visit? A staycation is the perfect excuse to visit your local tourist hot spots.
Turn your phone off
No social media, no news alerts, no emails.
Staying at home you never really get shutoff from your normal busy life, so make sure to intentionally shut off and be on vacation.
Play vacation music at home
Set the scene. Play music that reminds you of your favourite holiday destinations to get your mind relaxing and in the right holiday mood

Explore your home town’s famous landmarks

Create your own resort experience
Turn your patio or garden into a small resort oasis, setup a comfortable couch or lounge chairs, hang some fairy lights or lamps, put some holiday music on, mix you favourite holiday cocktail and relax all day long in your small oasis.
Treat yourself to a spa day
Spoil yourself with day at the spa and dedicate yourself to a day of ultimate mind and body relaxation.
