Virtual Vacations, Traveling From Your Couch - Part 2

It’s been a while since we highlighted some of our favorite virtual adventures, and with the time we have on our hands, we wanted to suggest a few new adventures you could start right from the comfort of your couch. We aren’t viewing these as replacements for the real trips and adventures we would have visiting some of these locations, but a way of seeking out new experiences and hopefully giving you a taste of what they could be like. As we find ourselves largely homebound, it is a good time to evaluate the importance of travel to our livelihood. From what it has meant to us in the past, to what it will mean to us as things normalize; what adventures will we seek when we can once again feel the freedom of venturing throughout the world. 
Today, we’re using travel to distract us a bit from the day to day routines we are lapsing into in the much smaller world of our homes, and to use the technologies and media to our advantage to visit the world virtually. So for your digital travel adventures over the next few weeks, let us suggest a few of the best virtual experiences we’ve found recently, and hopefully we’ll all be able to see them in person soon!
