Today we should give thanks to the individuals that really like recording their walks — and/or breathtaking 4K drone escapades. It’s these people whose content is plastered all over YouTube giving people like you and I a temporary travel fix. We know it’s not the same as being there, but it’s definitely closer than a lot of other things.
