Virtual Travel Experiences Perfect For Christmas Gift Giving

4/12/2020

 

If you can't go around the world, it's time to bring to world over to you. These virtual travel gifts are perfect for everyone on your Christmas wish list. I would be thrilled to find these virtual travel presents at any holiday.

This is the point in most blog posts where I say that some of these links are affiliate link etc etc. But guess what? They're not! Mostly because I cannot figure out how to do that. But the banner ads are indeed ads and, if you click on them and make a purchase, we may get a teeny tiny commission.

One of the best in-person travel gifts is a cooking class, like Ryan experienced in Rome.
Have you ever had one of those crazy travel days where you wake up in one country, have lunch in a second, and go to bed in a third? I've been there, and more than once. What these days offer in exhilaration, they take away in exhaustion! However, ever since the advent of COVID-19, these multi-jurisdictional travel adventures are more accessible  - and rejuvenating - than ever, thanks to virtual tourism activities. 

There are now hundreds, if not thousands, of virtual activities and the travel world is the better for it. Alas, it would be impossible to list every possible remote adventure here but, with Christmas around the corner, I've rounded up some of my favourite virtual travel presents to help you find the perfect cozy travel-inspired gift for everyone on your holiday shopping list. 

Gifting virtual travel experiences isn't just a great way to get your shopping done without stepping foot into a mall. Virtual gifts have a very low carbon footprint, they don't require standing in line at the post office, and they're a creative way to support small businesses. Plus, when you do get to travel again, you'll have a fun story to share if you meet up with these companies in person.

I met these handsome dudes in Montana but you can see faces like this on your next Zoom call!
Fatigued by endless online meetings and Zoom social hours? Maybe you'd feel differently if you were joined by a cheery llama, or perhaps an alpaca or another barnyard companion. 

Many petting zoos, farms, and animal sanctuaries now offer you the option of adding one of their furry friends to your next online meeting for a small fee. They receive valuable funds and you get invaluable FUN, the kind that only comes when you're hanging out with a llama. Online. During work. Trust me, EVERYONE is going to want this virtual travel present.

Perfect for: The office Christmas gift exchange.

​One place to try: Sweet Farm animal sanctuary in California.
