What does staycation mean?

Young traveler on a sunny city balcony, reading with a mug in hand; a backpack covered in travel patches rests beside them, binoculars on the table, skyline and park beyond – a calm staycation moment.

A staycation is a holiday close to home—think balcony sunrises, neighborhood parks, and the museums or viewpoints you usually skip. It’s simple to plan, lighter on the wallet and on emissions, and it works when you treat it as real time off. On Voluntouring.org we also explore a complementary path for when you’re ready to go deeper: voluntouring. Travelling with purpose—joining a community project, sharing skills, and learning from daily life—lets you slow down, meet people, and understand a place from the inside. This article explains what a staycation is and why voluntouring can be a natural next step on the same spectrum of mindful travel: one keeps you close and restored, the other takes you farther while helping you connect more.
