While we anxiously await the resumption of worldwide travel, we're endlessly grateful to the dozens of tour directors who have sent us videos of themselves and their home countries. These snippets of life from around the world have kept our travel fires stoked, and we hope they bring you comfort, happiness, and perhaps a few travel ideas for the future!
