In August 2015, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) ranked Toronto the 4th most liveable city in the world – a position Toronto has held for several years now.
The EIU ranking is based on 30 factors in five areas and includes stability, healthcare, environment, and education. Living in Toronto, we know how blessed we are. So, when my husband took one week off of work, we knew that a staycation would be perfect!
A staycation is a vacation that is spent sleeping at one’s home while enjoying activities that are within driving distance. Having spent the better part of two weeks in June traveling to four different cities, we were grateful to sleep in our own beds by night while going out by day.
We had three simple goals: sleep in, eat out, and do some tourist-y things!
Although this post is Toronto-based, I am sure that you can find similar activities to fill a day, a weekend or a week long staycation in your home town. Do a search on local festivals and happenings (blogto.com is my favorite for Toronto).
