It’s typically around this time of year that people begin planning to get away for a while. But, it’s also a good idea to plan for things to do when you can’t travel.
After working hard and saving all year long, you’re ready to spend time with people you love, explore new destinations, and take a much-needed break from your normal routines.
Unfortunately, this year is different. The coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc on the entire world resulting in many regulations, restrictions, and changes to every-day life.
In an effort to protect citizens, country leaders have implemented changes that include sheltering in place, social distancing, the closure of non-essential businesses and events, and lastly, the restriction of travel (in certain areas).
With so many changes in place, planning a fun-filled vacation may have to be put on hold. Don’t worry though. There are a lot of things you can do to occupy your time this season even with your travel plans on hold.
Things To Do When You Can’t Travel
Staycations
It may not be safe to travel internationally (or even to certain states in the US), but that doesn’t mean you can’t still “get away” if you need to.
A staycation is just what you need. This is essentially a vacation right in your hometown. Though this may sound pretty boring, most people have not explored the entirety of where they live.
Chances are your hometown has several upscale hotels. Nothing relaxes you like being pampered in luxury for a weekend. Find a nice hotel in your area book a weekend and spend a few days as a tourist in your own city.
There’s a lot of history, culture, and excitement to be found close to home. And with the travel and hospitality industries in a bind, you’ll be surprised to find there are a lot of deals you can take advantage of.
