Next best alternative to travel? Virtual travel?

Accepted answer

For audio, may I recommend podcasts. For example, I'm working my way through the last 9 years of Travelling with Rick Steves - a lot of it is discussing different areas of the world, and interviewing travellers, writers and explorers. Naturally on iTunes or whatever your podcast tool is, there's a travel category and others may take your fancy too.

For video, I've looked at lists of The best travel movies, for example. One of those mentioned is 'A Map for Saturday' which I recommend for anyone considering a backpacking trip - it makes me nostalgic whenever I watch it when I'm not on the road - just want to get back out there!

Travel blogs, instagram accounts (eg for Canada, I follow explorecanada on instagram). Find interesting accounts, blogs or twitter feeds, and follow and engage with them.

You could also consider hosting travellers at your house or meeting them for coffee, often just discussing travel or where they're from (I had a great evening tonight with people from Belgium, India, Australia, South Africa and more with travel conversations) gives you a taste of what's out there.

Basically, in any medium there's stuff to explore, follow and absorb between trips :D
