Tired of being quarantined at home for so long? Dreadfully long video calls which last for hours making you feel jaded? Feel like a break or a change of scene? Due to the current travel restrictions, you'd probably have to park your vacation trips on hold till when it's safer. Unfortunately, staying indoors is the best thing you can do right now given the Covid-19 scenario. All's not lost, though, because you can always go for a staycation in your own city. A staycation offers the best of both worlds - much needed change without having to worry about household and cooking chores. Here are a few more reasons why a staycation is the best way to unwind.
Its Human nature to always try to find the shortest, easiest way out of a rut; this also makes us brilliant problem solvers. While on a staycation, the housekeeping staff can take care of everything. And then there's room service - probably the best thing invented after the wheel. Crave a late-night sundae? All you need is to pick up the phone and order one. No questions asked.
Parties are so old-fashioned. How about gifting your special person a luxurious stay at a premium seven or five-star accommodation? Or choose a BnB or Villa stay of their choice. It's a gift they'll never forget.
Take the flight tickets out of a travel budget and hey, that seven-day all-star family expedition sounds like a plan, right? The beauty of staycations is that you can dive into the lap of luxury at a hotel just a few minutes from home. This gives a new meaning to the phrase 'a home away from home', we think.
We've heard and read a number of horror stories around allergies. Imagine having to deal with one when you're on the other side of the world, thousands of kilometres away from your family physician. On a staycation, however, if you do come down with a dust-related flu or any other problem, you're just an appointment away from your favourite doctor.
You’ll not be venturing too far from home, so why carry extra clothes? While planning for a staycation, you’ll discover that you’ll be packing fewer clothes because most of the time will be spent indoors. Just pack some comfortable tees, a pair of jeans, sunglasses, shoes and you’re done. Most hotels also provide swimming suits on rent.

If you’re preparing for a big exam, or would just like to spend some time with yourself before that stage performance, this is it. On a staycation, you will be guaranteed privacy and peace of mind.

A staycation is just as amazing a travel idea as it sounds - all the luxury, within a stone's throw of your home. A staycation also promotes the local economy and is great for the family. They're easier to plan and also allow for more time to relax. Imagine not having to juggle between airlines, Visas, haggle with car rentals and hunt down the best places for a keto-friendly meal on your next trip. Sounds awesome, right?
