Things to Do at Home: And How Can You Travel Without Traveling

by Gretkaon Last updated Mar 29, 2020

If you can't travel at the moment, there are many fun things to do at home. The current situation in the world is impacting us all and in many different ways. No one ever expected a global pandemic like that, but here we are. So let's use this time to reconnect and work on ourselves.
One of the best things you can do at home now is to create (or update) your bucket list. Not only with places, you want to visit, but also new things you want to experience. Open your travel atlas and see where you want to go next. Check 1700 bucket list ideas from my friend Slavi.
If you are staying home for some time, and can't travel, this is the perfect time for you to finally go through your travel photos and sort them into beautiful albums. It is also a great time when you can create a travel video from the destination you visited. If you sorted out all your photos from hard drives, move to your phone. I hate backing up my phone, but this is a perfect time to make space for new travel memories.

So hear us out.
Everyone is different and prefers different things. What is the best thing for me, doesn't need to be the best for you. And this, of course, applies to traveling as well. And why is that? Well, there are several types of travelers:
Travelers who PLAN literally everything.
Travelers who DO NOT PLAN anything at all.
Travelers who PLAN just enough to get by with a little touch of FLEXIBILITY.
We would definitely consider ourselves the ones who plan our itineraries but also try to be as flexible as possible. We love to plan our trips, doing research, booking trips in advance. But we are definitely not the ones who plan everything meticulously.
