Low-Cost Workcations Ideas:
Takeout picnic in park. Instead of
eating at that fast food restaurant or quickly in your car, take a few moments
and enjoy your next takeout meal at a park.
Walk along beach. You may be
geographically restricted to this, but if you leave near a beach, take
advantage of it! Ditch the work shoes, socks, and enjoy the soothing feeling of
sand beneath your toes.
Visit a Lake. Not a beach fan? Check
out your local lake. Maybe you dust off your old fishing pole, bring some bread
to feed the ducks, or just take a few moments to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Hike a trail. You may be surprised how
many nature, walking, and hiking trails exist in your area. Check out everytrail.com or gohikeit.com
for a comprehensive list of excellent hiking trails.
Mountain bike ride. Riding takes some
coordination and endurance, but if you are feeling brave, check out a local
riding trail.
Volunteer at a charity. Although this
may be considered “work,” volunteering at a local charity may be a refreshing
give back and integrate a philanthropic element to your life.
Medium-Cost Workcations Ideas:
Overnight camping adventure. Most
campsites cost anywhere from $15-50/night and require advance reservations. If
you are planning on camping during the summer, plan early!
Athletic lesson, such as a standup
paddle board lesson. Check the daily deal sites, such as Groupon or Living
Social, to help save money and find the best deals in your area.
High Cost Workcations:
Rent a RV. Kick up your camping
adventure and trade your tent for an RV. You may find yourself tempted to stay
plugged in, but the RV can at least provide some more shelter, allow you to
enjoy an overnight workcation in all seasons, and have a kitchen for meal
preparation.
