Even the most avid travelers need a vacation. Of course this may be a forced vacation from travel, such as due to external circumstances, such as rapidly decreasing bank account, and now the moment has come when you just can not go anywhere, how to keep the fire of impressions and emotions?

Stuck at home is not the most pleasant prospect, and sometimes it even turns the harshness of everyday life into a bleak world of traveler, especially when you’re used to circling the globe. And here are the best ways to take your mind off dizzying travels at home.

Learning new languages

Completely immersing yourself in learning a language that’s new to you (or a language you learned in school and subsequently forgot about after final exams) can give you a mental escape or a different way of thinking that you experience when exploring a new place.

Learning a language is a great way to travel without getting on a plane. In a class, you are immersed in a foreign language and culture.

Streaming multimedia (such as podcasts or foreign television series), reading in another language, and perhaps even discussing current events with a language partner can also offer “a great form of armchair travel.”

Planning your dream trip

Perhaps you’re having a honeymoon in the near future (or not) Or maybe you’ve always wanted to go to Australia and it’s finally time to read some travel guides, watch some documentaries and compile a spreadsheet to structure all aspects of your future trip. Your upcoming dream trip – even if it’s not until 2022. It’s a great opportunity to visit where you want to go in absentia and learn in detail everything that will help you on your future trip.

Getting to know other travelers

One of the best things about traveling is the people you meet.

Try making friends on various apps, check out Facebook groups, and attend travel meetings.

You never know, you might find a new travel buddy for your next adventure.

You don’t even have to leave your house to meet travelers in your city. There’s the option of hosting Airbnb or Couchsurfing if you’re at home. Not only will you make some money, but you’ll have the opportunity to meet and interact with people from all over the world.

Experiment with the cuisine

Just as traveling expands your horizons and you have different experiences, the same concept applies to food. To have a holistic understanding of why people are the way they are, we must not only see but also feel, taste and listen.

If you eat and taste something new, it reduces our fear of an unexplored place, and you get a sense of familiarity when you have already tasted the cuisine of that people, and as a result we have a traceable interest in people, culture and history beforehand.

In fact, when we try something different it makes us happy, there is a moment of enlightenment from the realization that there is something else in the vast universe that we have suddenly realized and discovered.

Think you’re familiar with cuisines from around the world? Choose local delicacies like the lesser-known pasta dishes from Southern Italy, spicy curries from northern Thailand or noodles from China’s Yunnan province.

Tourism in your own city

You can also enjoy traveling in your hometown. Shamelessly pull out your selfie stick and plan your day as if you were seeing your city for the first time – get on a tour bus, take a tour of a famous museum, pick up lunch spots, and find the best burgers in town. You’ll see what you see every day (or ignore because you’re too engrossed in what you’re doing) through the eyes of a tourist, and you’ll be surprised at how refreshing it can be.

To get a new perspective on your city, try city guides that point out the unique and lesser-known wonders lurking in plain sight.

Our memories of past travels

Online photo services like Artifact Uprising or Blurb allow you to organize photos from a special trip into a book worthy to grace your coffee table that will help you relive that vacation. If you love collecting, consider printing out photos and collecting mementos such as receipts, paper menus and other collected flat items for a unique memory book.

Travel Books

Feel as if you’re on board a plane, and let the book take you to a new destination – or several! Dive into a humorous and epic journey around the world with the main characters of the novels, or immerse yourself in a foreign series.

Page by page, some books and series will completely capture your imagination, and immerse you in places around the globe without even leaving home. Better yet, start a travel-themed book club where you can discuss travel information with other interesting people.

A new hobby that will come in handy when you’re on vacation

Are you used to passing by horseback riding, tennis or scuba diving? Change that, you don’t need the ocean to learn how to deep dive – a public pool is fine, and many offer scuba certification classes. Consider working with an instructor to build up your strength for the big outing, or check out classes at local centers to learn some useful outdoor skills. You can learn a new hobby that you will always have access to, for example – online casino, most modern sites have both an app and adapted site for mobile and portable devices. And if you’re on the road, you can safely spend time for fun.

The daily routine

Monotony is often the bane of a traveler’s daily life. So don’t let the routine get to you!

Day trip

Avid travelers can forget the joy of traveling, and to avoid that, plan a small weekend adventure. A train or bus ride for a couple of hours from where you live can take you to a fascinating historic town, state park or art installation you would never have seen otherwise.
