This was my early pandemic habit. Watch a long, walking only, YouTube video of some far off place. The best ones had no talking, just the ambient sounds and sometimes a on-screen note about something you were looking at.

The fascinating thing was watching pre-pandemic videos and your own response to groups of people and hearing coughs inside buildings.

Yeah those videos kept a lot of us sane. My jam was Martijn Doolaard's series of him restoring a rustic country house in the Italian Alps.

I still put that on on days where city and modern living is too much and I need to remember what being in nature feels like.

I strongly recommend it to anyone.

Have you considered... being in nature instead?

An audiovisual experience, no matter how great, will always miss the smell, touch, and taste of actual nature.

I have, yes.
