Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive.

The beautiful sounds of classical and opera style music pulled me in. Before I knew it, I was watching night after night and staying awake past midnight, not wan...

Social media is great for connecting with family, friends and other people, keeping up to date with world news, finding entertainment and engaging in activities like shopping and livestreaming, but it can also cause stress, anxiety and overstimulation. Here I am going to share some signs you need a break from social media. 1.     We mindlessly scroll sometimes and if you end up on social media without even realizing it, you are to absorbed in it.       2.  Always being online is a big sign you need a break.      3.  You can't stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone always posts their happy times and moments   of success and seeing all that can cause a lot of anxiety, especially for someone who may not be doing so well, or even someone who is doing well may look at those posts and feel they are lacking something in their own life.       4. Social media can bring on the fear of missing out (FOMO),...
