I know that not everyone can afford a fancy holiday at least once a year - I mean, I myself have never even seen the beach with my own eyes before, so there's that.
The fact that I don't get to travel too much has made me very adventurous, though - when you're young and bored, you seem to come up with the funniest ideas to spend your free time.

That way, I've come across plenty of activities that you should definitely try out during summer if you don't have the chance to get away and only a small budget - if those two things apply to you, definitely check the following things out!
1. Get lost in your own city! Get onto a bus, or the underground, and stay on there until the very last station. Once you get off, you'll probably be able to explore a completely unkown area of your own hometown - who knows which cute vintage shops or small cafés you might come across?
2. Get up really early in the morning to watch the sunrise and feel like you accomplished something by waking up at a horrendous time because you'll have an entire day ahead of you.
3. Have a barbecue old-school style! Gather a few friends in an outdoor area, collect some wood and make a bonfire over which you can roast marshmallows, wieners or stick bread. There is something special about the smell of burnt wood on your clothes and the taste of slightly burnt marshmallows that will remind you of your childhood and make you feel all wrm and cozy inside.
4. Grab yourself a hammock and put it up in either your garden, if you're lucky enough to have one, or if you're like me, drive to a forest to put it up there. Whether you do that alone or take some friends with you, just chilling in it, reading and maybe napping for a bit is not only fun, but it'll also leave you feeling super relaxed.
5. Go swimming in either a lake or river. Swimming pools are cool and all that, but there is something about swimming surrounded by nature that is so peaceful. Also, those are usually not as crowded as swimming pools, so if you want to avoid huge crowds which will definitely invade your personal space, this is the place to be.
6. Take a photo of all the lovely things you see. I've been really getting into this lately, and I love sitting down at the end of the day and look through all the photos I took. No matter if it's flowers, or a funny sign, or your friends - some of those might capture amazing memories.
7. Camp outside! This is not only for people who have a garden - even though I'm totally jealous of y'all, just saying - you could totally camp on a balcony as well. Grab yourself a air matress, a blanket and a pillow and sleep under the stars. the air is so much fresher than it would be in you 30 degrees Celsius bedroom and you get to stargaze until you drift off into sleep.
What is something that you want to do this summer?
