Longing for adventure while you’re stuck at home? Airbnb can give you the next best thing. They’re offering a wide range of unique virtual experiences with hosts from around the world, including cooking classes with families in Morocco and guided meditation with sleepy sheep in Scotland. Want a rundown of what it’s actually like to participate in some of these classes before you sign up? Check out this New York Times article for the details!
Speaking of travel, let’s take a virtual jaunt to the Keukenhof flower garden in Holland, also known as the world’s largest bulb-flower garden. They’re closed to visitors right now due to coronavirus, so they’ve launched a video series to bring their beautiful bulbs to your living room instead. What a lovely way to brighten up an afternoon!
Here’s a reminder that the world is full of helpers: despite losing nearly half of their business due to COVID-19, this Calgary deli is churning out thousands of pitas for local food banks to feed those who need it the most. (Thanks to RB for sharing this with us!)
Did you know that noise from ships can prevent orcas from communicating effectively with one another? Now, coronavirus restrictions have led to quieter waters, so scientist can get a better idea of what the orcas need to thrive going forward. They’ve also been able to get some truly amazing recordings of whale songs, so check out the article if you want to listen! (Thanks to RB for sharing this one too!)
See you tomorrow!
