How to Cross Off Your Travel Bucket List From Your Couch

Virtual reality or it didn't happen

They say travelling is the only thing you buy that makes you richer. 

We say the only thing that may have a similar effect and won’t cost you a dime is traveling in VR.

In order to let would-be travelers visit all the destinations on their bucket lists, Inception VR has created a series of virtual reality city tours that let users explore historical locations, restaurants, beaches and clubs in an interactive manner.

The first city on the list is Tel Aviv but Inception should be offering up 360-degree tours — via its app and wearables like the Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear and Daydream — of other locales soon.

To get a taste of what downloading the app will get ya, check out the Tel Aviv promo video below.

Bon virtual voyage.
