Tips to Escape Cabin Fever

Do you have wanderlust? Or maybe cabin fever from not getting out enough this year. We have a few tips and trips to get you out of the cabin fever funk.

Take a Day Trip

Even if you can’t book a week-long trip, taking a day drip may do enough to get you ready for the times you can travel.

Think of an outing to a park or hiking trail. Rent a bike and see how far you can get. Pack a picnic. Window shop in a cute small town.

Often the act of moving will help you feel better. Even if you’re in the cold and snow, the brisk air will make you appreciate the warmth waiting for you when you return home. 

Embrace the Winter Snow

Speaking of cold, if you are somewhere it’s chilly, embrace it. Maybe you’re not much of a winter person (I never was) but there are places open where you can sled, snowshoe, or cross country ski. These don’t’ require a huge investment.

Go to the Beach

Even if it’s cold, take a walk along the shores and marvel at how different the lakes and oceans look during winter. 

Read

Okay, likely you’re still cooped up indoors for this one. But if you choose the right books, say a travel memoir, then you could use your imagination to take a virtual trip through the book. Check out these 2019 and 2020 new releases here.

Cook

Do you have a favorite destination? Why not learn to cook something exotic. Even if you’re not a big chef, you can experiment in the kitchen as a way to stave off cabin fever and try new foods. Plus, if it doesn’t look picture perfect, it’s likely still edible!

Plan and Book Your Next Trip

Now is a great time to plan trips to the places you have been dreaming about. Better yet, plan and book a trip. Hotels, cruise lines and tour operators are offering great deals with unprecedented flexible cancellation policies. While you may read about some cancelation policies not being honored, when you book with a travel agent, we’ll know all the ins and outs if you do have to cancel. Where do you want to go? Get something in the books and give yourself something to look forward to.
