Most of us are staying at home more than usual this year, so we’ve had to come up with creative ways to stay entertained. Of course, one of the things we all miss is getting out and about and exploring the world. Obviously none of us are rushing out to get on crowded airplanes, buses, or trains anytime soon, so it might feel like the wonders of the world are really far away — but there are so many great ways to explore without leaving your house!
1. Check out some travel books
While many people only buy travel books before going on a trip, they’re actually great ways to explore new places from the comfort of your own home. If you’ve always dreamed of exploring the markets in Marrakesh, the ruins in Rome, or the beaches in Barbados, you can do just that with a travel book and a little imagination!
2. Watch a family-friendly movie or TV show
One of the best ways to feel like you’re somewhere else is to immerse yourself in a television show or movie. Whether you opt for animated or live-action, fantasy or factual, you can escape your living room by streaming all sorts of media on HBO Max. Watch Doctor Who, The Max original, The Witches, Adventure Time, and the HBO original, His Dark Materials!
3. Eat meals from around the world
When it comes to experiencing other cultures, smells and tastes are essential — which is why you should try food from all around the world! Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone; you might be surprised and find a new favorite meal.
