For millions of Americans, summer trips have become a thing of the non-COVID past. Even a day at the beach might be off-limits. International travel is even more of a pipedream, as currently only nine nations are open without restriction to US visitors.
Americans can work from home, shop from home, even go out on a date from home or adopt a pet over Zoom, so why not explore the world through the screen of a laptop?
GeoGuessr is a free, fun series of geography-based challenge games. Its basic premise is simple: you are dropped into a GoogleMaps StreetView, and then drop a pin on a conventional map at your best guess of the geographical location. Sounds simple, but it can be addictive, and you will become an expert on the differences between South African dirt roads and the Australian outback faster than you think.
From the comfort of your home, find yourself transported to Japanese fishing villages, and Scadinavian city squares. Check out GeoGuessr!
