Sally has cabin fever. What can she do that is free?
Well, Sally got me to thinking. I mean I don't know about you, but every time I turn on the radio or TV, someone is trying to convince Sally that she can't afford to do anything, and she needs to stay cooped up! I wanted to shout from the rooftop - Hey! Sally! There is a whole world out there, waiting for you to enjoy. You are the only limitation to your imagination and vacation (stay-cation) Sally.
So here are some ideas Sally, that will jump start your free (or low cost) vay-cay. Get going!
- There are many museums or public arboretums that are free, or have one day per week that is. Go ahead, find one. And go!
- In many parts of the country, the seasons are changing, and the colors and foliage is exploding with color. Get outside, and take your camera with you. Try becoming the worlds next great photographer.
- Visit the library! Often there are readings and other events. If nothing else, take some time to soak up the crazy literature you can find, only in your local library.
- Take a journey in your own city! Grab a travel guide/book from your own city, and go exploring. And while you are at it, write your thoughts, what you are experiencing. How would you re-write the guide?
- Check out an asian or greek, or maybe hispanic grocery market. Try to speak their language, shop for dinner, then head home and make a meal. Mmmmm.
- Roll the dice. Literally! Whatever number you roll, jump on the bus/train route corresponding to that number, and ride until you arrive somewhere interesting. Then, roll again!
- Be a tourist in your own city. Go out, ask a "local" where a good place to eat is, or a bar to go to, or perhaps a day trip or coffee house. Engage a local to tell their favorite spots stories. Everyone has them. Then listen, and enjoy the story.
And when you travel my friend, always get a souvenir.
