There are plenty of fantastic travel movies and TV series streaming on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and other video-on-demand platforms right now. Watching video content is a great way to satiate your wanderlust from the comfort of your couch.
If you want unlimited access to a wide range of travel programming, make sure you are using a VPN to access the internet. How does a VPN work to provide unlimited content?
A VPN works by encrypting your internet communications and masking your IP address. This allows you to change your location to any part of the world and access video content that would otherwise be denied to you due to geographical restrictions.
With many governments sealing their borders and restricting international flights due to covid-19, it’s almost impossible to travel anywhere. You don’t have to put your wanderlust on hold waiting for travel restrictions to be lifted.
