7. Visit museums virtually
Traveling by staying at home is getting easier! Today, many museums have collections online, so do not deprive yourself! This is the case, for example, of MoMa (United States), Prado Museum (Spain) and Louvre Museum (France).
8. Discover a new culture
Take the opportunity to learn about a new gastronomy, another language or discover other traditions. Cook an exotic dish such as Mexican quesadillas, Spanish Tortilla or Italian lasagna. Choose a recipe that will make you travel where you want!

A good cocktail and your feet in the sand? Well ok… without the sand maybe! But is the cocktail could be possible? Eat breakfast in bed, hang out, disconnect from everyday life and break the routine… Your mind will be more free to travel!

Just enjoy the passing time and watch the sunrise or sunset from your window. Live a real moment of relaxation and escape… By staying at home, you can also take the opportunity to take care of yourself and your loved ones.
