If you’re dying to see the world but travelling is tricky, virtual travel tours are the perfect way to cure your travel bug, if only temporarily, and they're a great way to discover the types of places you might like to visit in-person, which is especially important when you're thinking of moving abroad for an internship. While we might all love to travel constantly, it isn’t always possible. Whether due to finances, schedules, or travel restrictions, there will be times when travel isn’t safe or feasible. But that doesn’t mean you can’t experience the world and its wonders.
