One thing I like to do to pass the time and relax is take “virtual” roadtrips.   Virtual roadtrips are all over Youtube and are created by people who attach a dashcam to their dashboard while driving.  I’ve posted some impressive drives before.  It’s a great way to see the world without having to actually travel or spend any money at all, and I find it to be a lot of fun and educational too.

I was amazed by this drive through the mountain roads of rural Croatia because the scenery and terrain so closely resembles the southern Appalachians which run through several states in the southeast US, with the highest peaks in North Carolina, where I live.

The scenery is so similar that if you showed me this video and didn’t tell me where it was, I would swear I was back home.
