close by · easily accessible
Imagine you are planning a fun getaway with friends and want to pick a spot that is not a nightmare to get to! 🚗💨 This phrase is perfect for describing places that are conveniently close or have great public transport links, making them a breeze to visit. Think spontaneous weekend trips or easy day excursions! ✨
When would you use 'within easy reach'? A. Suggesting a nearby cafe that is just a short walk from your current location. B. Describing a remote, isolated cabin that requires a difficult journey to get to. C. Talking about a complex, multi-day hike that demands extensive planning.
💡 **Pro Tip!** You can use 'within easy reach' for both physical distance (e.g., 'The beach is within easy reach of our hotel') and conceptual accessibility (e.g., 'Success is within easy reach if you work hard'). However, for travel, we usually mean proximity! 🗺️ Do not confuse it with 'within arm's reach', which means physically close enough to touch! 😉
