5 ideas for a virtual family adventure

(Family Features)
A dream vacation is the perfect antidote to stress and the monotony of daily life. When a getaway isn’t in the cards, you can still escape and explore new places virtually.

A virtual trip can be a great way to explore destinations you might consider for a future vacation, or it may be a chance to see remarkable sights around the world that you wouldn’t get to experience otherwise. Virtual travel can also engage kids in learning when you pair the experience with lessons on culture, geography or even a homemade take on local culinary treats.

Add authenticity to the experience with special touches that mimic the ambiance. If you’re visiting the beach, kick up the heat and turn on a fan for some breeze. Light a coconut-scented candle and enjoy a bowl of ice cream while you take in the sights.



Get your virtual adventures underway with these selections from the travel experts at Vrbo:

Look around the Louvre in Paris. Explore the Egyptian Antiquities, remains of the Louvre’s Moat and Galerie d’Apollon by virtual museum tour as you head inside this iconic art lover’s institution. [Click to take a virtual tour of the Louvre.]

Sneak inside the San Diego Zoo. Get up close and personal with the resident apes, penguins, pandas, giraffes, elephants and tigers in real time via one of the many live cams positioned to spot wildlife from the comfort of your couch. [Click to take a virtual tour of the SanDiego Zoo. Click on “video and cams.”]

Walk the Great Wall of China. Make your Great Wall goals a reality. Get a glimpse of this 300-mile wonder of the world with a cyber stroll before dreaming up your own future family trip. [Click to hike the Great Wall of China virtually.]

Watch big wave surfing in Hawaii. Transport yourself to the beach as you watch white-knuckle surfing at its most surreal. Whether you’re a super fan or first-time spectator of the sport, it’s a compelling beach-cam watch and a welcome escape from the everyday. [Here is a Hawaii surf cam to check out now.]

Travel 352 million miles to Mars. Feel a world away as you explore Mars from aboard NASA’s Curiosity Rover. Learn as you roam between its different mission sites for a virtual, yet realistic, view of the Red Planet’s remarkable landscape. [Explore Mars online.]

If these virtual destinations inspire you to visit in person someday, use resources like VRBO’s Trip Boards to create a list of places to stay as soon as you can get away, and keep the dream going by sending the link to family members and asking them to vote and comment on their favorites.

😮 I'm finally starting to get my presents wrapp 😮 I'm finally starting to get my presents wrapped! This Christmas won't be the same as last year, but I'm trying to make it as special as possible. I'm wrapping up my gifts with this GORGEOUS paper from @minted. You will not see this paper anywhere else. This luxe, thick wrapping paper is designed by independent artists and is so beautiful it's almost part of the gift. You can even choose foil patterns for a little extra flair. (And, I have to say, photos just don't do it justice! It's that pretty.)  @minted has lots of terrific custom gift ideas too! I picked up one of their new custom photo puzzles--so cute! 😍  Visit the link in my bio (or mws.tips/minted1) to see all of Minted's custom photo gifts and beautiful wrapping papers for any occasion--you can even use them for crafting!
