Are the challenges of travel tempting you to stay home? If travel troubles have you thinking twice about packing bags, a staycation might be a fine alternative. 

With a little planning, you can unwind, explore your local area, and feel refreshed. 

A staycation is a chance to play tourist in your own home area, to reap some of the rejuvenating benefits of travel without the hassles of travel.

Research

– Check out your local tourism office — online, in-person, or both.  They should be able to give you lots of ideas of things to do. – Search for discounts for locals.

Prep your home

You want it to be at least as nice as a hotel. – Clean thoroughly or have it done. – Do the laundry and put it away. – Set out candles and fresh flowers.

Plan your food

The more you do now, the less you’ll have to do on your staycation.

Plan a flexible itinerary

You can change your plans in the moment, but having a rough idea of what you want to do each day will help you keep momentum.
