Feeling cooped up inside your houses? Haven’t known the touch of the outside world in many moons? Well, let me be the bearer of some glad tidings. You still can satiate your cravings of the wanderer inside you banging on the walls trying to get out.
Due to the Coronavirus, we are on the hook and locked up inside our houses. While people are trying to make the most out of this situation but still, we can’t help ourselves from the itch to go outside. But not all hope is lost.
The virtual world opens up many doors through which you still can have a taste of how it feels to be outside. See the wonder of Taj Mahal, be awe-inspired by the art at Louvre Museum Paris, or walk the Great Wall of China. With the advancement in the digital world, you can now access every corner of the world sitting comfortably inside your home. If you are wondering how to travel in Coronavirus lockdown, I have just got the right solution for you.
Here a list of ways to travel during Coronavirus Lockdown, without leaving your home.
1) GOOGLE EARTH APP
This is the best way to explore the outside world in the most original form. Google Earth provides many distinct services that could you aid your tickling wanderlust in numerous ways.
Have a three-dimensional view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Statue of Liberty in New York. You can even explore the buildings around the monuments. This experience is very surreal. The only drawback to this is that it isn’t available for all the places and monuments.
There is also the option of the street view. Through this, you can go into the maps and walk the streets of your desired location like a tourist wandering the streets. And the 360° view is just a cherry on the top which makes this experience a lot more realistic. This is surely among the best ways to travel in COVID-19 lockdown.
2) YOUTUBE TOUR
This is somewhat similar to the services provided by Google Earth app, but it takes the experience one step ahead.
Instead of a still 360° view, you’ll also get to explore the moving life around the places you would like to traverse. You can further take this experience up a notch if you can manage a VR (virtual reality) headset. After this, you might get addicted to this fascinating experience so much that you may consider doing this even after the Lockdown is lifted.
It’s a great experience to have and you might even end up having developed an admiration for the breakthroughs in technology we have had these recent years. A very realistic way to travel in Coronavirus lockdown.
3) WATCH DOCUMENTARIES ABOUT TRAVEL
Delve into the unparalleled beauty that hides in obscure locations all across the planet, far from the reaches of the destructive hands of Humans. Your eyes would sparkle seeing the resplended sublimity of the hidden treasures of this world.
There are many movies and travel documentaries on the mesmerizing places and things around the globe. But, one that stands out of the rest is a documentary called ‘Planet Earth’. From the frozen lands of Tundra to the scorching heat of Sahara, scour the planet viewing every minuscule detail captured by state-of-the-art high-definition imagery.
Know all that you have yet to explore and make a list. A beautiful and enlightening way to travel in lockdown.
4) READ TRAVEL BLOGS
Go through the experiences of people who have been to the places where your wanderlust wants to take you. Get amazed and inspired by the delineated way they have captured the essence of the places they have jazzed around.
Each description weaved by every travel blogger tells a different story; all beautiful in its sense. These motivate you to create your own story to share with others. The best thing about reading these blogs is that on some occasions they share secrets. Secrets that let you have the best and complete experience of travel.
Undoubtedly a very wholesome way to travel in Covid-19 lockdown.
5) RELIVE YOUR PAST TRAVEL EXPERIENCES
Travel down the memory lane and open the chest of the beautiful memories (maybe some bad ones too) you gathered in your recent travels. Sit with your family hand share all those stories and anecdotes with your families or relive those times discussing them with your friends. The best part of travelling is that the time you spent in any place might have been short but the memories you made are everlasting. Cherish those great moments you had. Relive the feeling of being a stranger to a strange land but still parting ways as if you belonged there. Make up your mind that as soon as these ominous times fade away, you’ll revisit all those places and more new ones. So that you never run out of these delightful experiences.
