Summer is the perfect time to go camping or glamping. Summer means there will be no rain, which means the grounds will not be soggy with rain water. Going camping means you will be away from the hustle and bustle of Jakarta, instead meeting with the quiet and serene nature. Glamping can also be an option, as there are many places that you can go for glamping even located nearby Jakarta.
Take a Road Trip
Road trip means a long road ahead that is filled with sleepless night, soreness and more. Give yourself some slack this summer by simply going a shorter trips. Y There are still plenty of chances to stretch your legs, sample the cuisine and sight see on the road trip.
Otherwise, A Staycation to Relax Yourself in
Other than going glamping to another destination, why not enjoy a night of staycation? These days, hotels (or even at home) are some of the most enjoyable places to stay. You can do a variety of things from giving yourself a DIY spa treatment, lounge on your back patio, go to the gym or take a swim. Whatever it is you do, choose something that will reinvigorate your sense before going to work.
Fireworks to Ignite Your Summer Spirit
