Not jetting off to the beach like your bestie this break? No worries—home is where it’s happening. here’s exactly how to map out the ideal anti-getaway...
Sure, you’d love to spend your break at an exotic destination. But if an extravagant excursion is out of the question, know that you don’t need to go globetrotting to reap the rewards of a world-class trip. Instead, plan a custom staycation right in your own town—no delayed flights, no long security lines. Read on for our guidebook.
CHOOSE YOUR GOAL
When it comes to streamlining your staycation, first decide what kind of experience you’re hoping to have. Are you looking to learn something new, party like a rockstar or just veg out? This will help you choose what types of places to hit up, whether it’s a spa (if you’ve been feeling stressed) or a museum (if you’re craving culture). Search travel blogs and aspirational Instagram accounts for inspo—we love fathomaway.com.
