Wellness Days #1 and #2 have come and gone, but there are three more to go. One thing I learned from my first two days off was that I didn\u2019t have the time to dedicate an entire day to relaxation. If you have a lighter schedule, check out our previous post on Micro Spring Break Ideas<\/a>. However, if you\u2019re like me and only have a few hours to unwind, keep reading.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the perks that have come out of this pandemic is a lot of businesses moving to virtual operations. Instead of needing to take a trip to visit some of the wonders of the world, you can now do it from the comfort of your bed (bonus: it\u2019s a lot cheaper this way, too). 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, experiencing a virtual roller coaster at Universal is nothing like feeling the wind in your hair or the stomach-drop while flying down a hill – but, it\u2019s still amazing that you can get a snapshot of what a place may look like if you have a few minutes to spare. So here\u2019s a list of some of the most interesting virtual experiences you can enjoy on Wellness Day #3.
