Travel

When you are stuck at home dreaming about travelling the world but know that it is currently not possible, you can find other ways to do it.

Why don't you organise your "travel party" at home. You can have a theme and cook accordingly, decorate the house with pictures of that city/country, download local music and enjoy the ambiance. You will enjoy this "escapade" and if you have children they will have so much fun helping you around the house organising everything. You can even google few sentences in that local language online and learn them and teach them to your kids. They will enjoy it and you will feel a sense of newness.

If you are currently living alone, you can also experience this but through social calling apps such as Skype or zoom. You can ask all your friends to use the same theme and organise it in their respective homes accordingly. It would be fun to share and exchange their ideas of the theme. We are putting it a twist to regular "skyperitif" or "zoom aperitif":-)

You can start organising all the details about your next trips which are on your wish list. You can look up hotels, places to visit, things to do, words to know. Once this situation will be over, you just have to take out all the lists you had already created and just start booking.

You can also start looking for places to visit or to go in your own city. We tend to always know better other cities than ours. So it is finally time to discover the hidden treasures of your city. Go on the local website of your city's tourist office and see what they have to offer, You will be surprised to see that there are actually many things worth the visit but you didn't have a clue about it.

You can also make a list of 5 countries you have visited in the past and ask your friends to do the same and then during a video call exchange memorable experiences and fun incidents in these places.

You can read books related to travel. You can start to finally organise all the holidays pictures which are randomly uploaded on your computer. If you have a printer at home, you can print some of them and decorate your place or start doing scrapbooking with these pics.

You can watch documentaries on different countries, you can go on google map and look at the cities you want to visit. If some places have local webcams, you can even do a virtual tour without leaving the comfort of your home.

Or you can just start your journey into your inner soul and read books or blogs on personal development, travel through all the emotions you are feeling, start to get to know yourself better and become the person you always wanted to be.

There are so many ways to travel, you just need to find yours.
