We know the feeling of being stuck in your room for months, wishing you were somewhere else, and seeing the great outdoors the world can offer.
Trust us, we felt it too.
But the scary part is, the pandemic is still around, and with no vaccine in sight, it's best to stay indoors even for a couple more months until the government gives us the go-signal to return to our normal lives.
Thankfully, you can experience the world without actually leaving your room.
How? By watching some travel variety shows, of course! It's the perfect way to escape the four corners of your room in the eyes of your favorite Korean pop idols and celebrities, sans the hefty spend.
Here's a list of shows you can binge-watch and where to find them:
