Anycation – a vacation from everyday life
Alone time. Sleep. Time without the kids. Quality time with the kids. Resting pulse. Memories. The perfect vacation? There's no one answer to that!
Would you like a nice lie-in in a cosy hotel bed? Fancy a getaway with your friends? Are you dreaming of treating your children to an unforgettable weekend of fun and games?
Say hello to Anycation.
A vacation can be gaming in peace.
A vacation can be taking the tram into town for dinner.
A vacation can be staying overnight and running a marathon in Gothenburg...
...lunch with your grandma at a charming café...
... a work trip with some spa time between meetings...
...or even just an extra long hotel breakfast.
What is a vacation for you?
