If you’re like most people, you’re staying home pretty often these days. You might be saving money for a financial goal, minimizing your risk and exposure to viruses, or simplifying your family’s life. No matter the reason for staying put, spending time at home doesn’t have to be a disappointment. With the right mindset, you can make any weekend at home a staycation. And what better way to spark that mindset than with inspiring staycation quotes?
I love a good quote (and bet you do, too). I get excited whenever I find a sentiment that’s perfectly expressed. There’s something universal about a good quote.
That’s what I sought when hunting for these staycation quotes. They’ll make you look forward to spending more time at home. The quotes will change your perspective on what is possible with a staycation. They’ll give you staycation ideas, too!
But first: If you’re not familiar with this term, here’s how I define staycation: A staycation is time you spend at home or near home with the intention of creating a restful, exceptional or memorable experience.
In other words, staycations get you the wonderful feelings of a vacation—without traveling far.
Take as many staycations as you want!
Now that we’re all on board with how awesome staycations can be, it’s time to get excited! You can plan staycations anytime. Take a few days off work or take advantage of a plan-free weekend. Without the expense of flights, gas or hotels, you can take as many staycations as you want every year.
Here I’m sharing my favorite staycation quotes. Below, you’ll find inspiration, ideas and even permission to let everything go and simply do nothing. Feel free to use these staycation quotes for Instagram captions, too!
