Do you ever spend the occasional summer feeling envious of other people going on all sorts of fabulous vacations while you have to stay local most of the time?

This happens to many people, as sometimes, it can be too difficult to vacation during the summer, and thanks to platforms like social media, it’s easy to get wrapped up in looking at other people’s extravagant trips.

However, this is a great time to embrace ‘staycations,’ or fun day trips and weekend plans you can make while staying local. While we’d all love to go on a trip and spend nights in nice hotels around the world, you can still treat yourself to some fun adventures while staying close to home.

Here are some fun ideas for making the most out of a staycation.

Spend a night at a nearby hotel

If you’re a sucker for a relaxing hotel room and can afford to book a night or two in one, head to a local hotel for a break from home! Staying in a hotel in a nearby town or city or even going to one that isn’t far from your house can still provide you with a break in routine and time away from home.

Sometimes, sleeping in a different bed, enjoying room service, and swimming in a hotel pool can be all you need to feel refreshed.

Cross a nearby activity off your bucket list

Is there a day trip you’ve had on the docket for years? Is there something you’ve always wanted to do that could be accomplished through a day trip? Now is the time to do it! Something that’ll make staycations feel worthwhile is doing something you’ve always wanted to do or seeing something you’ve always wanted to see.
