As you may have heard, this year marks Jane Austen’s 250th birthday (on December 16th to be exact).

Fun things in honor of her are happening all over the place, like outdoor cinema nights featuring movies of her novels at Chatsworth House.

The concept represented by this portmanteau combining “stay” and “vacation” has been embraced by people everywhere as a way to explore your own area, to slow down and relax, and to go on holiday without the hassle of traveling.

I’ve also heard it called “nearcation”, “holistay”, “daycation”, and even “microtourism” ~ so clever! But no matter what you call it, I highly recommend it.
