With the pandemic hovering over our heads, traveling has become a nightmare: from endless paperwork, to quarantine, to mass restrictions, it can be nearly impossible (and quite pricey) to make a quick getaway whilst holding onto your sanity. Fear not! Here’s how you can still have yourself a vacation--no masks required--in the comfort of your own home.
Set the Scene
Seeing is believing, so when planning your vacation, consider what your ideal destination looks like: is a cozy chalet in the Swiss mountains calling your name? Or a tropical resort in the Caribbean? The choice is yours. Then decipher how you can bring the elements of that destination into your home without too much hassle; for example, fuzzy blankets, cinnamon scented candles, and some soft Christmas tunes can turn any home into a scene from a Hallmark movie.
Stock the Fridge
It’s no secret that the key to any great vacation is the quality of what’s being served on your plate. Now this might require a detour to the grocery store, or a quick call to Uber Eats, but tapping into your comfort food cravings is a first class ticket to relaxation. For a true experience, you can even surf the web to explore some authentic dishes and drinks unique to your destination and try them out for yourself!
Entertainment
Now that you’ve set the scene, and got all of your favourite snacks lined up, you could kick your feet up and start to unwind, but for those who just can’t seem to shake themselves out of their hectic routines, there are plenty of adventures for you to dive into. Millions of books and movies can be found at your fingertips on platforms like Netflix and Amazon that encapsulate the elements of your destination, and the type of experience that you would want to have there. So what are you waiting for? Enjoy your staycation!
