]]> As far as expensive hobbies are concerned, travel ranks pretty high. And although going on trips has always been a pricey exercise, it has become more costly following the pandemic. There is some good news, however, for those wishing to explore the world but not able to afford it right now. 

The Croatian Tourist Board is making it possible for people to visit the country without leaving the comfort of their home.

The board is offering virtual walks through some of Croatia’s best-loved sights. You will be able to zoom in and out, take a 360° view, and even get a bird’s eye perspective.

“We continuously invest in promotion and communication channels and keep up with modern trends,” stated Kristjan Staničić who serves as the director of the tourist board. “Digitalisation of Croatian tourism, along with sustainability, represents one of the key strategic directions of its further development, so in the future, we will additionally upgrade this VR platform with new technological solutions, as well as materials for new destinations and language variants.”

One of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, the Southeastern European country boasts stunning beaches, medieval architecture, and churches and monuments that date back centuries. It has also been the location for popular series like Game of Thrones. 

Virtual travelers can embark on over 60 walks, including Zagreb, the Church of St. Blaise in Dubrovnik, and the island of Lokrum.

The walks can be accessed via the Explore Croatia mobile app or on the Croatian Tourist Board website.

]]> Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, travelers will unfortunately not be able to visit the world-famous Keukenhof garden in the Netherlands this spring. This is the second consecutive year that visitors have missed out on seeing the tulips in bloom at one of the world’s largest botanical gardens, and no one would blame you for being sad about this.

Fortunately, however, there is a virtual tour of this famous spot on the Keukenhof website that you should check out to get a taste of this lovely place!

Whether you have visited Keukenhof before or not, it is worth taking the time to cruise through the gardens with a 360 degree video that takes you all around its 32 hectares. You will see ponds, lakes, and over 7 million flowers that come to life in spring with a number of colors and patterns.

This completely free experience will transport you to the Dutch countryside and give you a taste of one of the most spectacular spring sights that you will find anywhere. In addition to the tulips, crocuses, hyacinths, orchids, daffodils and other flowers you’ll see on your tour, you will also check out a number of pieces of sculpture and artwork that add a whole new dimension to this fantastic garden.

It might not be quite the same as actually visiting, but a virtual visit to Keukenhof will hopefully quench at least some of your travel desire and transport you to a beautiful spring world.

Be sure to check out Keukenhof over the next month or so!

]]> 2020 and 2021 have been tough years for travel. With restrictions in place preventing us from visiting most places outside of our home regions thanks to a global health crisis, you might be desperate to check out a new place after all this time staying near home. Fortunately, the Eiffel Tower in Paris has a virtual tour that you are sure to love!

The French TV station TV5 Monde celebrated this iconic landmark’s 130th anniversary in 2017 by filming a virtual reality, 360-degree tour of Gustave Eiffel’s magnum opus that largely went unseen and unappreciated.

However, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, more people are discovering just how immersive and magical this virtual tour is.

In addition to this, you can make your virtual tour even more all-encompassing by exploring the panoramic views from the tower’s observation decks on the Eiffel Tower’s website, which show just what you would see if you were there and visiting.

Not only will you forget about the frustration of not being able to travel for a bit, you will also be able to see one of the most iconic views on Earth and check out Paris landmarks like the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Elysees.

So, what are you waiting for? This tour of the Eiffel Tower is at the tip of your fingers and ready to go any time!

]]> As the final month of autumn approaches and many of us are trapped at home due to the ongoing global health crisis, you might find yourself dreaming about an escape to a snowy, winter wonderland.

Fortunately, with the help of Google Maps’ Street View Trek of Everest Base Camp, you can do so from home!

Mt. Everest, straddled between Nepal and Tibet and the world’s highest mountain at 29,029 feet, is a place that few visit but many dream of.

The extreme altitude of the mountain means that only experienced climbers can reach its summit, and the thin air and complicated logistics of travel there make it hard to even reach the area around it. 

The base camp for climbers who are looking to summit the mountain, located at nearly 20,000 feet above sea level, can now be explored on Google Maps after climbers reached this magical place on foot with camera equipment in tow.

Marvel at the astoundingly large peaks and the ice and snow formations that you will find on this virtual tour and get lost in the dream-like environment of the world’s highest peaks. After you reach the base camp, you’ll marvel at the spartan accommodations that climbers must use before attempting one of the world’s toughest feats.

While we may never get the chance to travel to this unbelievable place, this virtual tour is the perfect way to experience it while being trapped at home.

]]> 2020 has been a difficult year for travel. With a pandemic slowing down or even paralyzing our ability to travel in most parts of the planet, it’s completely normal if you are missing traveling and chomping at the bit to visit a new destination.

While it might not be the same as actually going somewhere, having a virtual travel night at home can be a nice way to ease away your cravings and have a lot of fun! Here are some tips for putting it together.

Virtual Visits on Your TV

Why not look for a virtual visit on YouTube or whatever destination you want to visit’s website and put it on your TV as the base for your virtual travel night? This will help set the mood and trick your brain into thinking you’re somewhere else!

Regional Food

Immerse yourself in the country you’ve selected to virtually travel to by preparing a dinner featuring that country’s top cuisine! A simple Google search will provide you will all kinds of tasty recipes, no matter where you want to “go,” that can be made in the comfort of your kitchen.

Regional Music

Set the mood as you eat and hang out with your family members by picking up a vinyl or downloading MP3s of music that comes from the country that you have chosen to visit. It’s amazing how sound can transport us to a different place, and playing music is a great way to do so.

]]> Do you find yourself bored at home and wishing to travel while waiting for the global COVID-19 pandemic to end and life to go back to normal? I certainly do, but I try to fill the time planning my next trips and making virtual visits to snap myself out of the routine of daily life.

One of my favorite discoveries lately has been a selection of American aquariums that offer up different types of virtual visits! These are some of my favorites.

New England Aquarium

The New England Aquarium in Boston provides a page full of at-home visits and activities to enjoy and learn. You’ll find visits to animal habitats where you’ll be able to watch recorded feeding sessions where you can learn tons about the wide variety of marine life found in this excellent aquarium. 

Georgia Aquarium

Do you like live webcams of animals? If so, the Georgia Aquarium’s extensive collection of webcams of some of its favorite animals in their aquarium habitats is a great choice for a home visit. My favorite is the sea otter cam, and you’ll also find others like a piranha and a beluga whale cam.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

The Monterey Bay Aquarium dishes up all kinds of sea life content on its fantastic website. Here, you will find a selection of live cams of different animal habitats as well as narrated feeding sessions every single weekday

A new feature of Google Earth now allows you to visit more than 30 World Heritage Sites from your living room, taking you on a breathtaking virtual tour of some of the world’s top attractions.

A smattering of World Heritage Sites across the continents of Africa, Europe, and Asia have been selected to be shown off in this new and exciting innovation in the Google Earth platform.

Completely free and open to the public, Google Earth’s newest tool is a great option for exploring around the world without ever leaving your own home. This keeps yourself and others safe, and might even inspire you to take a “real” trip to one of these magical places when the COVID-19 pandemic ends.

Consisting of 419 different protected areas that have cultural, natural, or historic value, one of the best ways to experience the best of what the U.S. has to offer is by checking out its national park system.

2020 isn’t an easy year for travel, which might make it difficult for you to visit these parks currently. However, there’s one way to get your national park fix while at home: virtual visits!

This page from the National Parks Foundation provides a listing of some of the best virtual visits that you can do in order to get to know some of the National Park System’s top gems.

So, don’t let yourself become bored and restless in your home without travel! Take a look at these virtual tours, which just might lead you to plan a “real” visit in the future!

]]> Do you find yourself bored at home and wishing to travel while waiting for the global COVID-19 pandemic to end and life to go back to normal? I certainly do, but I try to fill the time planning my next trips and making virtual visits to snap myself out of the routine of daily life.

One of my favorite discoveries lately has been a selection of American aquariums that offer up different types of virtual visits! These are some of my favorites.

New England Aquarium

The New England Aquarium in Boston provides a page full of at-home visits and activities to enjoy and learn. You’ll find visits to animal habitats where you’ll be able to watch recorded feeding sessions where you can learn tons about the wide variety of marine life found in this excellent aquarium. 

Georgia Aquarium

Do you like live webcams of animals? If so, the Georgia Aquarium’s extensive collection of webcams of some of its favorite animals in their aquarium habitats is a great choice for a home visit. My favorite is the sea otter cam, and you’ll also find others like a piranha and a beluga whale cam.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

The Monterey Bay Aquarium dishes up all kinds of sea life content on its fantastic website. Here, you will find a selection of live cams of different animal habitats as well as narrated feeding sessions every single weekday

]]> Google Earth has become one of the top platforms during the COVID-19 crisis which has allowed people to go on a sort of virtual “vacation,” checking out faraway destinations from the comfort of their own homes.

A new feature of Google Earth now allows you to visit more than 30 World Heritage Sites from your living room, taking you on a breathtaking virtual tour of some of the world’s top attractions.

A smattering of World Heritage Sites across the continents of Africa, Europe, and Asia have been selected to be shown off in this new and exciting innovation in the Google Earth platform.

Simply by clicking on the name of sites such as Stonehenge, La Alhambra, the Pyramid of Khufu, and the Towers of Angkor Wat, you now have the ability to use your mouse and cursor to guide yourself around the grounds of these important places.

Completely free and open to the public, Google Earth’s newest tool is a great option for exploring around the world without ever leaving your own home. This keeps yourself and others safe, and might even inspire you to take a “real” trip to one of these magical places when the COVID-19 pandemic ends.

So, what are you waiting for? Start playing around with this fascinating tool and explore the world!
