Vacation or
Staycation?
Updated: Jun
3
It's 2021,
and people are getting vaccinated and visiting newly reopened places. After a
year and a half of being under lockdown , we can finally start traveling again!
But should you ?
Maybe you
still can go on vacation...by staying in your home town! Staycations can be
just as fun as a standard vacation. Pandemic aside, there are benefits and
drawbacks to both a vacation and a staycation. It is up to you to decide what
you are wanting to get out of the experience.
Vacation Benefits
Explore New Climates and
Landforms Often when we
see something every day, it tends to lose its significance. .It is just thrilling
to go and explore something new.
Leave Your World Behind
Be honest.
How often do you sit at your job and daydream about being on a beach somewhere?
Probably a lot, so sometimes it's good to just go indulge and forget about your
worries for a bit with a getaway trip. Since a lot of people have had to work remotely,
they are ready to seize the day!
Reconnect With Loved Ones
Unless all
of your family and friends live nearby, you most-likely have a connection with
someone outside of your area. While we have discovered the beauty of video
chats, it is not the same as going to visit that person. Now is the time to
catch up with your loved ones and give
those much-needed hugs. While you're visiting, it might be fun to explore the area and make memories with your loved ones!
Vacation Drawbacks
Let's face
it. Vacations can cause more stress than relaxation.
Money Yeah, this
is the most obvious one. Not everyone has the budget to travel
Schedules There's
usually a day at the beginning and end of the trip that is devoted to travel
only. If you're flying, then you have to make sure that you get to the airport on time to make your flight. Connecting flights can sometimes
cause delays in your trip if any leg of the trip is not on time. Having to
hurry up and wait can turn a lot of people off to this form of traveling. It
can make you feel more tired than before.
Managing Expectations There is a lot of pressure to make your trip worthwhile. You have invested
so much time and money into this vacation. Any tiny detail going wrong could
throw off the whole trip.. It's hard not to
get upset when things aren't perfect after spending a ton of money to
get there.
Staycation Benefits
Low-Cost Some people make their staycations super cost-effective by staying in their
home, while some choose to stay in a hotel nearby. Either way, you are saving a
ton of money by cutting out the travel aspect alone.
Relaxed Schedule Once you're off work, your
staycation has started! There isn't as much packing required You have more time
to enjoy your morning without stress. Standard vacations pressure you to have
fun every single second of the day. Staycations let you actually relax on your
vacation and come back to your real life feeling refreshed.
Discover Your Surroundings You'd be
surprised at how much you can still discover in your area. A quick Google
search of obscure or unique things to do in your city could come up with a
multitude of adventures.
Staycation Drawbacks
Limited Luxury
If you're
staying in your own home, then you have to clean up after yourself. Ultimately,
you still have to be responsible for things you probably wouldn't have to be if
you had stayed at a hotel.
May Become TOO Relaxing As nice as
it is to have time to chill, you might end up going through your staycation
without doing anything. Without having an itinerary to give you an idea of what
you want to do, you might talk yourself out of leaving the house.
Confined To Your Surroundings The whole
point of a vacation is to escapeStaycations aren't for everyone. If you are
itching to get away, then you might feel a bit ripped off.
