Staycation: Get Away Without Having to Go Away
Sep 12th, 2018

We all will admit that we spend most of our free time exploring places far away from home than actually seeing attractions around us. Right? Many times, we tend to ignore some of the nice places we have around us and rather holiday at other places. If we take our time, we’ll come to realize there are many beautiful places closer to us that we just don’t pay attention to, because LOCAL!

For many of us, summer period is the best time to go on vacation with the family and some friends. However, some people are unable to make the dream of going on summer vacation a reality due to light bank account. For other people, the stress of traveling far away, planning their vacation, getting their leave approved at the office set them back from going on vacation.

What if there was a way to have a vacation without having to travel out of the country, wouldn’t that be nice? Good thing is there is a way to make this happen without spending much and stepping out of your country.

STAYCATION!!!

Yes, staycation! You really do not have to break the bank just because others are going on vacation and you want to copy or do “follow follow”; on a low bank account. Staycation is an inexpensive vacation you spend at home or somewhere close to your home. The aim is to relax alone, with your partner, friends and family and take a break from your normal daily activities, in a very close attraction.
