Just because the world grinds to a halt and all planes remain grounded due to COVID-19, it doesn’t mean that our wanderlust, that passionate flame for travel and adventure, has been put out. While we have no idea when we’ll next be able to board a plane again, we can at the very least, explore the world with our eyes and relive sights, sounds and taste in the alleyways of our memories. This latest article series #traveltheworld requires just a little bit of imagination and a decent sound system as we pair our favourite travel destinations with an appropriate sound track, wine and snack.
