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: I’ve visited England twice so far, once with a group and once on my own.
I love this country, but there was definitely a bit of a learning curve in figuring out what to do to make my travels go more smoothly! From navigating the tube to figuring out what to do, there was a lot of information to take in, which is why I created this handy guide! So, without further adieu, here are all of my best tips for visiting England for the first time: Let me start off by saying: I am not a backpacker. Sure, I like camping, but the idea of staying in a hostel makes me nervous, and I have very little interest in eating ramen noodles every day for a week (any backpackers who stumble across this blog are probably shaking their heads at my tragic lack of knowledge about backpacking, but there it is.) On the other hand, I’m also not about to shell out tens of thousands of dollars for a weeklong vacation!
My second disclaimer: I didn’t use any rewards. So many of these cheap travel posts I find online require the use of points stacked up from credit cards, which, while it may be worth looking into, doesn’t help me plan a cheap trip now. So how did I do this? The wind whistles among the trees on the henge and past sun-warmed stones. They stand steadfast as they have done since the time the great Pyramids of Giza were built, evoking the same feelings of wonder as they did in a time thousands of years ago.
Near the heart of Wiltshire, England, in a tiny town called Avebury, lies the largest stone circle in Britain. Combined with Stonehenge, the Avebury Henge and Stone Circles make up the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site. They’re both incredible in their own ways, but honestly? I think Avebury is better. No, seriously. Better than Stonehenge. |
