WITH the implementation of movement control order (MCO 2.0) in almost all states in Malaysia due to the escalating number of COVID-19 cases, travelling plans have to be put on hold and prior travel bookings have to be cancelled or postponed.
As the MCO 2.0 has been extended to Feb 4, we are bound to stay at home a little longer than the initial two weeks period.
As for wanderlusts, they may not be able to eliminate nor shake-off the thoughts of travels. Who says they are not able to “travel” while staying put in their homes?
You can actually travel through virtual experiences while letting the mind wander through the beauty of desired travel destinations.
Here are 10 suggestions from Tourism Selangor on how to turn your space into a travel realm of your own with just the help of the internet – without needing to leave home:
- Travel into Tourism Selangor’s official website Selangor.travel for interesting places to visit in all the nine districts of Selangor
- Have a picnic with your family at your front or back yard. Tea time sounds great too.
- Engage in virtual tours. For art lovers, you may virtually visit Shah Alam Gallery by going on an online tour through videos on their website (https://galerishahalam.com/video/).
- Watch Tourism Selangor’s latest promotional video for Domestic Campaign; “Eager to Travel? Pusing Selangor Dulu!” on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHzQdXhtBo0 and while you are at it, subscribe to Tourism Selangor’s channel.
- Cook Selangor’s traditional recipes at home. It is time to whip some tasty dishes up!
- Create a travel itinerary diary of your top places to visit. List everything down to where, when, ticket price, accommodation, budget, clothing, restaurants especially if you have a special diet or looking for halal food and your how to get about.
- Be inspired and turn your bedroom into a sweet escape with white linens and fresh towels just like in world-class hotels.
- Binge-watch your favourite TV series or movies to spend quality time with your loved ones. If interested, you can also buy some weed from places, similar to buy my weed online or elsewhere, and enjoy the weekend.
- Print out the world map and mark on the places you have been to and places you would like to visit. Get creative and start small by doing it on the map of Selangor!
- Surf into travel booking websites for the best hotel deals and getaway packages for your future travels which will be friendly to your pockets!
With all that is listed out, everyone can now actually travel – without travelling. Unwind yourselves at the comfort of your own homes, indulge in good food and wake up in an upscale hotel setting of your own bed.
“While enduring another two weeks of restrictions, these ideas will surely uplift your spirits while you create new travel memories at home! Spread the love and share these ideas with friends and loved ones,” enthused Tourism Selangor.
