As states and communities continue their re-opening process and we all adjust to the new normal, we wanted to share an updated list of fun and unique activities and vacations (did you ever think you’d be vacationing digitally?) to do with your family, friends, social groups, and even schools.
Vacations
Sydney, Australia - Take a trip to the “Land Down Under” with this live cam. Visit the popular Sydney Harbor and Opera House, and enjoy the day (or night) looking out at the city skyline.
The Maldives - Dreaming of a relaxing beach vacation? Enjoy the beautiful, clear waters, cloudless sky, and white sands that this South Asian island has to offer. Our Marketing Manager is bookmarking this one as the colder months approach.
Vancouver Island, Canada - We’ve booked a spot for you at the Crystal Cove Beach Resort. Enjoy a peaceful stay at your cabin off the west coast of Canada.
Machu Picchu - Spend a day at the ruins of this ancient citadel. Keep an eye out for llamas, they love the grassy hills and mountains. The 360-degree camera offers you a birds-eye view of the site.
Great Wall of China - Take a walk on one of the most impressive archaeological structures in history. Are you up for the 13,170.7 mi hike?
