Still Traveling?
Would you like to still travel? Now you can without leaving your home – just stay still!
Let us whisk you away for an “armchair adventure” on an interesting, educational, fun & live, guided group tour in a destination beyond your front door …even beyond the grocery store!
Forget the long, masked airplane ride, we take you across the time zones by Zoom where a local professional guide from a distant destination will take us to explore sites or topics. Live Q&A, photos, graphics & video clips (when available) will transport us to the destination.
Though one of the world’s most northern and geographically remote countries and with a rather severe climate, Finland ranked #1 of 156 countries on the World Happiness Report. Come find out why!
Zoom off to this overlooked, Scandinavian treasure with trip leader James Sokol for five guided, virtual “trips” with our interesting, professional, local guide Tuula, who will share her passion for and insights about her homeland.
