Let' s Go Glamping !

It’s wonderful to escape from life for a week or two to break the routine and get away from it all. But it’s not always necessary to go on a ‘normal’ holiday. We have two great ideas for unusual holidays. So, if going to the beach seems boring but you still want to recharge your batteries, then check out the ideas below.

Want to be outside with nature but don’t want to give up the luxuries of modern life? Perhaps glamping is for you. Glamping is a combination of glamorous and camping. It is, as the name indicates, camping in style. Linda, a first time glamper, told us ‘I am getting together with my neighbour for lunch. We’re thinking of taking a pottery and ceramics class in the afternoon. But I’m most looking forward to lying in my big soft double bed and watching the stars after the sun goes down.’ When we asked her about the downsides of glamping she added, ‘Nothing! I’m feeling good because of all the fresh air and I’m doing more by myself.’

If glamping isn’t for you but you can’t afford a hotel or flight, consider a staycation. A staycation is the combination of stay and vacation. As you can imagine, it’s a holiday where you stay at home. We asked Daniel if it is really a vacation and he told us, ‘I turned off my phone. I’m not taking calls or using any social media. It’s a vacation from my lifestyle. I never do touristy things in my city, so tomorrow I’m visiting the local museum and having a night out in the tourist district.’

What do you think? The next time you want to plan a vacation, consider going glamping or having a staycation!
