COVID-19 has basically taken all your travel plans and just took a huge dump on it. Is there hope for travel in the future? You can never really be certain, can you?
In the midst of all the uncertainty, there’s only one thing I am certain about. I need to quench my thirst for travel and there’s only one way for me to do it – virtual travel with Google Earth.
All you have to do is open google maps, make sure you’re in satellite mode. Then, type out any place that you want to visit and click and drag the little yellow person in the bottom right of the screen to any blue highlighted spot on the map.
That’s all you have to do! Simple, kan?
Here are some places that you must visit virtually:
Okay, I did not know Google Earth Could take me underwater. Just snorkel about by clicking your mouse, you might run into a dolphin or even a turtle!
Not only can you look at how beautiful it is, but you can also explore the grounds of the castle.
This mysterious structure that till today no one know what’s its purpose or even why was it built.
Walk around the highest mountain in the world without risking your life to hike it!
Instead of booking a flight ticket to Hawaii, how about saving that and visiting the beach virtually instead?
6. Adélie Penguin Rookery – Cape Royds, Antarctica
Okay, I didn’t expect the Antarctica to be this sunny, thank god I’m not wearing tripe jackets. And look at those cute penguins!
Honestly, I used to envy all the people who got to travel here and look at this amazing hole on the surface of earth. Now, I get to visit it too!
You can even hike through the park - virtually.
8. Palace of Versailles – Versailles, France
Okay, first when google earth decided to take me underwater I was shocked, but now indoors too? Oh, Google Earth, you’re too much!
I get to tour this beautiful French palace by just sitting on my couch, not spending any money!
