WotD: Staycation
When I was young and foolish, I travelled extensively.
Actually, I was a backpacker for ten years.
As I got older and wiser (my wife disagrees with the wiser part), I lost the travel bug, and now I prefer staycations.
A staycation is a vacation that you take close to home.
It’s a chance to switch roles and become a tourist in your city or area.
They had become very popular after the banking crisis in 2008 because people no longer had the money to take a vacation overseas, but they still needed to take a break to get away from it all and de-stress.
For what my opinion is worth, I feel that staycations are fantastic.
You can switch roles and become a tourist in your city or area.
