While some areas are starting to open up after months-long COVID-19/Coronavirus quarantine, my home in the San Francisco Bay Area is still a long way off from reopening. While I fully support continued safety precautions and social distancing, it doesn’t make it easy! Being stuck in one place for so long has got me climbing the walls, and every nature documentary, blog post, and Instagram photo of the outside world just makes my wanderlust worse. But while I can’t physically travel anywhere right now, I can still wander virtually, and that’s what this post is all about.
When quarantine is getting on my nerves and I just want to get out of the house, or my fibromyalgia has me in too much pain to get outside and walk the dog, I can still see the world through my computer with virtual tours. I don’t have fancy headsets or anything like that - all of these videos are designed so that anyone with a computer (or smartphone) can explore some of the most beautiful places in the world. Each of these places is worthy of being on your bucket list, and although you likely can’t get out to see them just yet, you can still get a taste of what they’re like right here and now (and you don’t even have to put on your hiking boots to do it).

We're all stuck inside during the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, but that doesn't mean we'll never be able to travel again. Now is actually the perfect time to daydream about all the wonderful places you'd like to visit once we're allowed to travel!
I've compiled a list of one thousand different places across the globe to see before I die. From cities and cultures to all of the most beautiful natural wonders, this list is designed to inspire you - you can use it as your own, or add or subtract to it. The world is an amazing place. Take a moment (or longer) to appreciate all the incredible places around the globe: Discovered in 1974 outside of Xi'an by a group of farmers, China's Terracotta Warriors are one of the country's most iconic symbols. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Terracotta Army features 2,000-year-old life-sized sculptures of warriors and horses, intended to represent Emperor Qin Shi Huan's imperial guard. Archaeologists believe the army was created to protect the Emperor in his afterlife.
Shanghai and Beijing are two of China’s most famous cities, and it’s not hard to see why. Each offer some incredible sights to see, but there’s so much more to China outside of these places.
Xi’an, Hangzhou, and Suzhou are three cities I visited during my trip to China, and I fell a little in love with each of them. If you’re looking for something just slightly off the beaten path, start by looking at these three.

Beijing is an incredible city full of rich history. With so many different things to see and do, it can be difficult to narrow it down. Still, in a city of countless wonderful experiences just waiting to be had, there are a few that stand out above the rest.
