The new year is always a time for endless possibilities and it is a time where you can really let loose and be something you have always wanted to be. When it comes to thinking about trying new things it is always a fun idea to get away from your daily routine for a while and this can be just what you need to have some fun. If after the festivities you are a little out of pocket, here are some of the things you can try which don’t cost the earth but allow you to have some fun and freedom in the new year.
Camping
If you are short on cash and you want to get away for the weekend with your partner or the kids, a great idea for you would be to go on a camping trip. You can bring along a couple of tents, the best solar generator you can find for energy and lots of food and enjoy a relaxing weekend away from the pressures of the city and the rat race. Camping can be a great excuse to get into the wilderness and explore places you have never been before. You can have fun camping with the ones you love and it will be the perfect way for you to bond as a family.
Backpacking
Sometimes the best way to spend your time if you are looking for something a little bit different is to go completely out of your comfort zone and travel across the world. Backpacking is something we often associate with students but it is something which anyone can do at any time in their lives and it can really make the best vacation you’ve ever had. All you’ll need to do is pack a bag and pick a destination and go from there. Make your trip up as you go along and you’ll be able to experience some of the most amazing things.
House Sitting
If you want to be able to travel and stay in a house for free while you are away you can actually offer your services to people as a house sitter for the week. Often, in the destination you want to visit there will be people who are looking to go on holiday themselves. It means that you can look after their home while they are away on holiday and this will give you free accommodations anywhere in the world!
Working away
If you are a freelancer or you have the ability to work away from your desk, it means that you have the freedom to go and do whatever you want in life without losing out on your wages. For a cheap way to travel you could simply work abroad and have the ability to wake up one day and wok on the beach and wake up the next and work in a quaint French cafe with a glass of wine. It can be the best way to travel because you are able to earn money at the same time so you have the freedom to do and see more.
A staycation
If you really want to enjoy the cheapest holiday possible with your family in the new year, why not just stay at home? There is a lot to be said for a staycation and it can be the best thing you do for yourself when you are under a lot of stress. Lock yourself in the house or go for the odd day out in your local city and be a tourist. It can be a great way to bond and it won’t cost anywhere near as much as a holiday away.
