6 Tips For A Moneyless Vacation At Home



6 things?

There may be a thousand things you could do while at home, complaining that you can’t go on vacation in top-ranked locations.

Most of the complaints deal with work and the lack of money: you’re either too tied up to leave work, or your budget doesn’t allow you to spend money on a vacation, or… both.

These 6 simple activities can make your vacation a great one, while still being at home. You don’t have to drown into consumerism to have some quality time.

Home vacation advice #6: Read. Read more. Read even more.  


After a stressful day you’d rather watch a comedy or a tv show, but when’s the last time you laid your hand on a book?

If you argue you’re one of those persons who don’t read, then take a look again at Home vacation advice #2.

Reading is like food for your brain, besides making you less ignorant and improving your knowledge. Trying a book that improves you language skills and challenges your ideas can be a good exercise.

Home vacation advice #5: Spend more time outdoors   


You don’t have a lot of money to spend on travelling, but I’m sure you have a quiet place near/outside the city where you can go for a breath of fresh air. The more, the merrier, so invite somebody to keep you company.

Take your bike for a stroll. Take a book for a read in the park.

Home vacation advice #4: Practice some sports   


If affordable, you can choose a fitness gym, but it’s not a must. If you’ve got enough motivation, you can do some exercises at home or go for a run.

Home vacation advice #3: Learn something new   


Either it’s a new language, or a food recipe, learning something new keeps your mind alert. It also gives you a feeling of satisfaction, of personal achievement.

Home vacation advice #2: Doing what you usually don’t have time to do   


You know how long ago you wanted to clean the computer keyboard but you just didn’t find the right moment to do it? Well, now is the perfect moment for details like these.

Home vacation advice # 1: Wasting time can be benefic    


When’s the last time you took some time and just sat and did nothing? No TV, no Internet, no magazines, no movies, no music, no other form of distraction?

Wasting some time (in moderate quantities) can be very productive and it  ultimately makes you more creative. Best ideas are born in these sessions of  ‘time wasting’.
