Staying home could be your biggest adventure yet!

A month of staying at home

​While traveling for most of us is out of the question right now, there are absolutely no restrictions on planning and dreaming about your next vacation! Plus, science shows planning a trip often brings you more happiness than actually taking it! Staying at home for one month is a small sacrifice to save lives, and it can prove to be your biggest adventure yet! Here are ten ways to enjoy staying home as much as any vacation:
  1. Take a walk. When was the last time you took a relaxing stroll around your neighborhood or at a nearby park and really took the time to notice the little things like landscaping, architecture, and wildlife. You might begin to see your piece of the world in a whole new light.
  2. Armchair travel. Explore the world, virtually, with us.
  3. Make a vision board. Use Pinterest to create a board of places you want to visit and things you want to see and do.
  4. Look through old photos & videos. Reminisce about your favorite past vacations. Are all your digital photos lumped into one big “camera upload” file? Take some time to organize them into folders. It’s fun to relive memories from the past.
  5. Save the date! Pick a date this fall or next year and start planning your next vacation.
  6. Watch YouTube travel vlogs and shows for inspiration.
  7. Learn a language
  8. Learn how to take great vacation photos using your iPhone
  9. Enjoy some new hobbies to get you outdoors like bird-watching, stargazing, riding a bike or photography.
  10. Host a destination of the day party and get the whole family involved. Get creative and decorate a room in your home in the theme of that destination, make recipes native to that land and watch a movie or listen to music that reminds you of that place. Encourage each member of the family to share something special about that destination.

​Not sure where to begin? We started a list for you using technology and media to visit the world virtually. So for your digital travel adventures over the next few weeks, let me suggest a few of the best opportunities I have encountered so far:
