Yes the most relaxing vacations I take are when I get away from my house and local environment, but do virtually nothing at my vacation destination. By nothing I mean just live in the local environment. Don't try to see all the things, or make a lot of plans in advance.
Yep. My favorite vacations were just staying in a guest house in a residential neighborhood in Kyoto or an Airbnb above a bakery in Paris and not really doing much but living life.
