Save Money
The most obvious reason to enjoy a staycation instead of a vacation, is it won’t break the bank. If you’re trying to cut back on your spending this year, then perhaps staying close to home wouldn’t be such a bad thing. Plus, it means you can save up for an even more epic vacation next year. We’re thinking the Bahamas! Put everything you’ve saved by not going away into a savings account, to contribute toward next year’s plan.
Explore Hidden Treasures
When was the last time you actually explored where you live? We mean really explored. When we live somewhere, we can become almost disenchanted with our hometown or city. By opting for a staycation, you’re forced to think outside of the box and hunt down the local hidden treasures. You might be surprised by what’s on your very own doorstep!
Saving The Planet
We’re all being told to be more environmentally aware nowadays and one of the ways we can do this is by reducing how much we travel. Air travel can leave a massive carbon footprint – but even road trips can be detrimental to the environment. Try doing your bit for the planet by taking a break from traveling by plane or car for a year. The world will thank you for it!
There are so many reasons to enjoy a staycation this summer – and these are just a few of them. Save some pennies and save the planet by exploring your hometown!
