2. The world has changed a lot in the last
few months, and if you’re a travel
addict, you’ve probably had a hard
time adjusting to being stuck at home.
Many of your summer trips have likely
been canceled, and it’s hard to tell
when traveling will truly be safe again.
Luckily, technology has allowed
individuals to experience new things
without ever leaving the comfort of
their home. There are plenty of ways a
person can use this tech to travel to
locations all around the world, and
while it may not be as good as the real
thing, it’s still a pretty good alternative.
3. A popular thing to do when traveling is take guided
walking tours, as they’re a great way to help you truly
learn about a destination or specific attraction. Luckily,
walking tour companies such as Take Walks have
begun offering virtual guided tours that you can do
from home. These are great ways to learn about
different locations or potential future destinations
before going there, all from the comfort of your couch.
Some popular tours include virtual tours of the Sistine
Chapel in Rome, a virtual tour of the Louvre in Paris
and a virtual tour of the Met Museum in New York City.

4. If virtual tours aren’t your thing and you also
happen to be a movie buff, try watching a
travel themed movie. Some travel themed
movies are purely fictional with others being
based on true stories, but many of them can
really give you a look at parts of the world
you’ve never seen before. A few examples
include Lord of the Rings, The Secret Life of
Walter Mitty, The Way or The Lion King
(2019). These movies, while not all explicitly
about travel, feature stunning shots of the
various countries they were filmed in, which
could inspire anyone to want to travel to
them.

5. Many travelers believe that the best way to truly
experience traveling to a new location is through
their food. It could be traditional pizza in Italy or an
authentic Mexican dish, and by eating a dish from a
place we’ve been to or would like to visit can
sometimes transport us there. Fortunately, you can
often look into buying cookbooks based on different
parts of the world and try cooking their food for
yourself! This gives you the opportunity to learn a
new dish, learn about a location’s culture and get
something good to eat all at the same time.
