Virtual Travel Through Prague, Czech Republic

We loved every inch that we were able to explore in Prague. From the main attractions such as Old Town Square, walking along the Charles Bridge, St. Vitus Cathedral, and Prague Castle to the unending and timeliness cobblestone streets and alleyways. This is a city you’re able to 'get lost' and enjoy every second of it. Prague has this unique charming and nostalgic quality that leaves you breathless.

Traveling to Venice in February by Cearr Creative

At the end of February, when the world began spiraling into unfathomable chaos and confusion, I found myself on vacation in a silent city, one that ordinarily buzzes with life. What now feels like a lifetime ago, I was wandering the quiet streets of Venice in awe. The seriousness of the pandemic was admittedly an afterthought and I selfishly raptured in classic Venetian scenes that would typically be overrun with tourists.
