During these pandemic times, traveling is no longer an option, and if you are used to going on vacation, you must be feeling terribly constricted and missing out on some good vacation times.
Because you care about your health, it is therefore important to get creative. You could take your partner to the nearest Airbnb, and just relax, rather than going to a hotel or traveling to a destination, which would put you and your family at risk.
Alternatively, you could embrace “staycations”. This term has become extremely popular with the pandemic, with millions of people transforming their homes into small hotels in order to just feel like they are on holiday. Read on to learn more about it.
Changing the Scent Around Your Home
What most people love about vacations is the many delicious scents all around them, especially when they are on a destination vacation. The flowers, the change of scenery, the fresh air, the beautiful lawns, it all contributes to a great vacation.
Now, since you are indoors, and cannot travel to your favorite vacation spot, why not re-create these incredible scents so you can relive your time when you had the ability to travel?
For example, a Hawaiian vacation may smell like plumeria, orchids, coffee, and vanilla. For a simple bed and breakfast vacation, the smell of fresh air and spring flowers will do.
You could also recreate the mood with some scented candles, essential oils, and incense, then order some exotic food from your favorite restaurant and recreate the perfect staycation holiday, right in your home.
