Travel around the world from home during COVID-19 lockdown
A photo album under the theme "traveling around the world from home" taken by two Vietnamese travel lovers to satisfy their travel passion during social distancing time, also it spreads an interessting message and inspires people staying home positive for the COVID-19 preventation.
Trung Duc and Khai Quan are two members of a group named Wanderful Dreamers founded in 2017 to satisfy their passion for sharing and traveling. Duc has a knack for photography, film making while Quan is in charge of the content. Both focus more on the cultural values and local people rather than the beauty of each destination they visit.
Mostly, their work is also adversely affected by the advent of COVID-19 outbreak and the issuance of social distancing in Vietnam since early April.
Trung and Quan make this album to spread an inspirational message about COVID-19 to everyone: it could be a little confined and boring staying inside, but there are many ways to make this social distancing time more relaxing, happy, and meaningful.

The appearance of the "third person" makes the adventure in India more adventurous and mysterious. The first thing Trung and Quan do in India is to see a fortune teller. In Indian society, if the snake hypnotic magic flute is more popular among Indian men, Indian women prefer fortune telling. (Photo: Wanderful Dreamers/ VNE)
A walk from India to Nepal is a little demanding, but it's surely an unforgettable experience.
