Do you like planning short vacations during long weekends in certain months? Or do you want to go on holiday but have a limited budget? Hey, don't worry because you can have a staycation without having to spend a lot of money but it's still fun, you know. Keep reading this article!

1. Invite Friends
If you have an adequate backyard, you can have a barbecue party and invite friends to come to your house. Apart from barbecue parties, you can also have a movie night with a movie or TV show marathon.

So, to save money, you can invite your friends to bring food, snacks, and drinks to enjoy together at your house.

2. Visit nature tourism
Yup, instead of just going to the mall, there's no harm in occasionally enjoying nature tourism, right? Make no mistake, because in Jakarta there are still natural attractions that you can enjoy without having to go all the way out of town, you know.

3. Visit a relative's house
For example, this long weekend in September on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, you can take advantage of this moment to visit a relative's house while strengthening ties. Especially if this Eid al-Adha there are relatives from out of town or even abroad who are returning to their homeland. Of course, Hari Raya moments will be even more exciting by gathering with family.

4. Visiting Cultural Centers of Other Countries
If you visit out of town or abroad, you want to get to know the local culture in the city or country you are visiting, right?

So, during a staycation, of course, there is also a lot of immigrant culture that you can see at cultural centers in other countries. For example, in Jakarta, you can visit the Goethe Institute for German culture, Institut Français Indonesia for French culture, Erasmus Huis for Dutch culture, @America for United States culture, and many more! Each cultural center often holds exciting events that you can enjoy for free.

5. Visit the Library
It's definitely for you, book lovers! Reading books in the library doesn't mean you're a bookworm. Because in the library you can find books that are no longer published on the market or listen to audiobooks in a place with a calm and comfortable atmosphere.

You can also take advantage of free internet facilities which are usually provided in public libraries. Have a fun staycation, Jakartans!
