Most people are cooped up in their homes due to COVID-19 and are feeling antsy. If you’re used to traveling a lot, or even on the occasion you might really be feeling the cabin fever. Here are a few things that we’ve come up with to help you enjoy your time in quarantine.
Read About Your Favorite Country
Read up on the history of your favorite country. Learn about its history and what it’s famous for. Chances are you might find out something new and you’ll find a new place to visit on your next trip there.
Learn a New Language
Language is what brings us together across cultures. You will have an easier trip, when you can travel again, if you know some basics of the local language. Choose a language that you find interesting so you don’t give up easily while learning and dive in. After all, you have all the time to study.
Have a Travel Theme Party(At home) or Staycation
Whether you live alone or not you can still have a party. Decorate part of your home with simple decorations from the dollar store and celebrate your future adventures. Cook food from various cultures and watch a travel themed movie afterward. Settle in with a glass of French wine or German beer and feel the tastes on other cultures. If you’re having a staycation then roll out a beach towel and grab a good book and head outside or by a window. Play music with beach waves and pretend you’re at the beach.
Learn to Cook Your Favorite Meal
I(Chanda) love Chinese food so I’ve been learning how to cook more Chinese dishes. Depending on the cuisine you like and where you live it might be a little challenging to find some ingredients. If you can’t find any at your local grocery store then search online for semi-local or small businesses that sell these ingredients. This will also help support people from that community.
Plan Your Next Trip
Plan your next adventures. You have nothing but time so research the countries you want to visit and plan what you want to see and eat. You will feel a lot better thinking about the future instead of worrying about your current situation that you can’t control. You have the time to plan the most epic adventure so throw yourself into research and watch travel videos on the places you want to go to.
