Create Stories: travelling virtually in times of covid-19 with Deepak Sharma & Prakash Jha

A special webinar on Virtual Traveling was organized by Create Stories in which Awara Banjara Traveller and Storyteller Prakash Jha from Ahmedabad shared his insight.
Organiser Deepak Sharma shared that Prakash Jha was a banker, who quit his job to explore 28 Indian states and 8 union territories.
Prakash Jha said that every state and city has its own glory and glory. He said that in this era of pandemic, we cannot go around like this but we can go for virtual travelling. 

How to go for Virtual Travel?
For virtual traveling, you relive your previous travels. You start from preparing and recollect every moment of your travel. 
Another way to go for a new virtual tour is through reading, listening and watching travel stories. When you read, listen or watch travel stories, you start traveling in virtually. 
Listening to the stories of people who keep traveling regularly, they explain every incident whether good or bad and we can even learn from it.
For example, if I talk that when I went to the city of Satna in Madhya Pradesh, then I was shown the Kaydi (prisoner) chat store which I have not been able to forget even today. The name spikes curiosity and helps people experience my travel.
Religious books Gita, Ramayana and Mahabharata are a wonderful way to explore virtual traveling. 

Travel to beat Stress
Traveling is also known as stress buster. When we travel, we mentally calm down and creativity increases. When we see the world, we are happy and meet new people. 
With new experiences, our creativity finds new muse. Travelling helps in increasing our inner tolerance. 
Travelling helps us see people in different circumstances. It helps us in counting our blessings. 
In times of corona pandemic, when stress levels are high, we need to remember and relearn such travel lessons more than ever. While we cannot go out, we can enjoy virtual travelling. Remember focus is the key.
