While travel may be off the cards, for now, virtual escapism is open to everyone with an internet connection.
In fact, now is the perfect opportunity to reminisce about your favourite holiday or get excited about your next adventure.
Below are just 6 ways to experience travel without leaving the safety and comfort of home.
1. Virtual Reality
To keep travel alive, some destinations are setting up new and wacky ways to visit their incredible sights and attractions.
The best of the bunch...
2. Cook Your Favourite Cuisine
Remember those amazing tacos in Mexico? Or that awesome paella in Spain?
Why not try to recreate your favourite food from destinations across the world.
Be transported around the world as you enjoy the cuisine from the places you love the most.
Cooking at home
It’s never been easier to book a holiday with our direct debit option, which means you can spread the cost across monthly installments.
3. Google Earth
Why not visit your favourite destinations on Google Earth? Relive that moment from that epic family holiday you took or the awesome backpacking adventure.
We’ve all searched our own houses on Google Earth (why is it we all do that?!), so instead search for that hidden beach spot you found in Greece.
Even better, why not get the kids involved and make it into a geography lesson!
