Virtual Staycation

There are so many reasons I love to travel. It allows us to slow down and enjoy what we love. We can reconnect with our families, our loved ones, and ourselves in an environment far from our daily routines and distractions. I know we will travel again. But, what do we do when we can’t travel? When our daily routines are completely disrupted? Use this time to reconnect with your loved one, in person or via video. Dedicate more time to your passions projects, rediscover old passions, or find new ones. Help your community and neighbors however you see fit. Still, have an itch for travel like I do?

Here are a few ways to “travel” from the comfort of your home. Maybe you will discover a destination you want to visit in person soon!
