Here are seven tips on how to fully enjoy a staycation (perhaps you can even try one a day), without the stress and exhaustion that international travel can cause.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it as being a tourist in your very own city or province. You can stay indoors, cozy and warm, or get outside and enjoy an adventure.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Plan an indoor excursion. <\/strong>Take a trip to a museum, gallery or science centre (to name a few).
