7 ways to travel from the comfort of your own home
Traveling these days can be pricey and time consuming. No one has 2000 dollars and a week or two off just laying around. But with the pressures of changing your Facebook profile photo monthly and having other people constantly post count down's to their holiday, you can't help but feel left out. So here are some ways you can travel the world from the comfort of your own home!
1. Order in food
Most people love traveling to try new foods but in this day and age putting on pants can be a whole production, let alone planning a trip. Skip the pants and planning and order in! You can get some real authentic Italian with Pizza Pizza, or taste the many different breadings from the east with Mandarin!
2. Go shopping
A big part of traveling is souvenirs! 100% of everyone enjoys getting one, but 100% of everyone doesn't enjoy long flights! Skip 20+ hour flights to South Korea, China, or Taiwan and just buy some famous sports gear. "Just do it" as they say! There is a huge chance that it was made in one of these far away lands.
3. Bring the beach home
Beaches are fun but skin cancer and tan lines are not! So get your swimsuit on, turn up the heat in your home, sprinkle cat litter around the bathtub and bring the beach to you! You can drink on this beach and you won't feel self-conscious for skipping the gym all year!
4. Museum of your own
Going to museums are a great way to learn while abroad and expand your knowledge of other places. But your place is just as good as any! Invite a bunch of random strangers into your home to look at your things. King Tut had bowls and so do you, so what's the difference? Buy some Rosetta Stones in a few languages and display them behind glass! Turn on the History Channel for intellectual white noise! Believe in yourself, your mundane life is just as interesting as a bunch of dead guys' mundane lives too!
5. Repost photos
There are so many open albums on Facebook for you to lurk and steal photos from; one could say they are "all inclusive" to the world! Look up random people and steal their vacation album and post it as your own! Now anyone can have a sweet trip to Cuba or Mexico because everyone looks the same with sunglasses on.
6. Invite the family over
Have all your family over and ask them to bring distant relatives that you've never met and probably won't see again. If they speak a different language that you don't understand, you're really going to make this authentic. Have them force an unannounced dinner on you, and there you have it: one of the best parts of any vacation, for everyone but you!
7. Convert your money
If you're Canadian then take a wad of money and a knife or some scissors and cut it in half. That's basically how it will feel if you go to the States, Europe, and especially the UK! Travelers love to waste money so if that is what you are into then go for it. Otherwise just stay at home and watch your money grow until the day you die.
Life is all about saving time and money and with these tips you will do both! And besides with the risk of plane crashes, parasites, and whatever other horrible things you can think, you may have saved your life as well! Now go on and have that lovely "staycation" you've worked so hard for!
