I understand you, you are bored, depressed, you don’t know what to do and the only thing you think about is traveling again, seeing your friends, etc. Don’t worry, this damn coronavirus will one day pass and everything will return to normal, but in the meantime, you have to stay home to take care of yourself and take care of ourselves. Therefore, I leave you some things to do in quarantine, many of them free and that will take you to travel the world from your room. Let’s transform stay at home! in travel home!

Read a book

Reading is the best way to travel. Take advantage of this time to grab that book you left in half or start the one you always wanted to read. A book will always take you to unknown worlds.

But if you want to travel seriously, immerse yourself in travel literature. You can buy them in Ebook.

Watch the TV

Another way to teleport from the couch in your house is precisely, TV. On Netflix (to name the most common) you will find a lot of movies and series to watch during the quarantine, which will take you to different places on the planet. Here I recommend some:

Tales of Light: Great documentary series to handle with traveling. Each chapter introduces a photographer with a different style and purpose. Ideal to travel the world from the lens and the gaze of masters of light.

Street food: if you didn’t see it, I don’t know what you’re waiting for. Each chapter presents a different city in Asia, where through the excuse of gastronomy it tells beautiful life stories.

Midnight Dinner: A series of two seasons, with minimal stories that happen through a meal, in a restaurant in Tokyo.

The Valhala Murders: I started seeing her this week. A series of murders in the harsh Icelandic winter. I have not finished it yet, but it looks good and amazing landscapes.
Padman: a story based on a real case. A man from a small town in India promotes the manufacture and promotion of intimate towels for women, with all the cultural and social cost that this implies.

I lost my body: An excellent French animated film with a certain poetic flight that hooks a lot.

Your Name: I’m not a huge fan of anime but this is a great movie. A girl from a Japanese alpine village and a boy from Tokyo exchange their bodies due to a mysterious event. There are tours in Japan that tour the locations of this movie.

The Merchant: A raw short film by a Georgia merchant who trades goods for food. A window into rural life in this country, where potatoes are a currency and poverty a common currency.

The Drug King: It tells the story of a Busan smuggler who becomes the king of drug trafficking in South Korea.

The boy who tamed the wind: Another real case brought to the big screen. A boy (there is the TED talk of the real boy) invents a mill to save his Malawi people from drought.

Lorena / Little Miss Sumo / Ladies First: There are three highly recommended shorts from different countries (Mexico, Japan and India) with the same theme, women and sports.

First they killed my father: A girl struggles to survive from Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge regime.

If you do not have to pay Netflix, do not worry, you have the app or the https://www.vudu.com/ Play platform, where there are 100% free movies, series, documentaries and shorts.

Try cooking Mediterranean recipes!

Just like with movies, you might even have a compilation of recipes to try any Sunday at home. And you may have the fingers of one hand that you’ve finally tried (with or without success). Well, among the things you can do in quarantine is improve your skills in the kitchen and, incidentally, brighten your palate on these rare days
