We often dream of vacation far abroad and unaffordable where we should start looking around us, beauty is everywhere, anywhere, and also close to home. Instead of going out to exotic locations, it's always possible to find adventure that are close to home, cheap, simple, short and yet very effective.
1. Find an Adventure in the City
If you live in a city, head down to the park for a walk or cycle. My favourite getaway for the weekend is to head down to Putrajaya located not far away from the city for its spacious and beautiful view and less crowded place. City people love the malls and movies for the weekend, and I'm not sure what they could do there, it's overcrowded all weekend!
2. Find a Vista Point
We haven't explored much of the other side of our neighboring location. So when there is a chance, like when friends and family come to visit, we get to experience those things, like head to a new island or beach 2 - 3 hours drive from the city.
3. Catch a Sunrise
Even those of us who aren't morning people, we will feel refreshed by a sunrise. Wake up way before the crack of dawn and head out for a nearby hike. An hour or two hike in the early morning will put you far away from most other people, with a view all to yourself. I know a short hike up Bukit Serdang could get a view of sunrise, and Bukit Serdang is unlike the Gasing Hill, is much much smaller so even if you get lost in it, it won't take long for you to hike out.
4. Get Out in the Rain
Sometimes the rain seems like it will run your only day off, but don't let it. Don't worry about getting wet and head out to dance in the rain.
5. Sleep Outside
I've personally bought a tent when I was in my early teens, then set it once indoor and forget about it until my friend asked around if anybody has a tent to borrow. He asked me one very good question, "Why do you have a tent?" I wanted to go camping sometime back, but somehow lose it over the years as we grow. I need to start packing and find back that adventurous dream I had.
6. Try Something New
Just do things out of your routine. City people sticks to routine too much that we have become robots. Try something new this weekend! Like have a drink by the Heli Lounge Bar for a fantastic 360 city view
