If one cannot afford to travel, videos such as these are a good alternative:

This was my early pandemic habit. Watch a long, walking only, YouTube video of some far off place. The best ones had no talking, just the ambient sounds and sometimes a on-screen note about something you were looking at.

The fascinating thing was watching pre-pandemic videos and your own response to groups of people and hearing coughs inside buildings.


Yeah those videos kept a lot of us sane. My jam was Martijn Doolaard's series of him restoring a rustic country house in the Italian Alps.

I still put that on on days where city and modern living is too much and I need to remember what being in nature feels like.

I strongly recommend it to anyone.


> need to remember what being in nature feels like

Have you considered... being in nature instead?

An audiovisual experience, no matter how great, will always miss the smell, touch, and taste of actual nature.


I have, yes.
