Want to travel but cannot make the trip right now? World Watcher lets you wander through live cameras from more than 1,100 places around the world, from city streets and beaches to landmarks and natural views. You can see what a place looks like in the morning, evening, or middle of the night.
It is not the same as standing there, of course. But there is something generous about a window that lets curiosity travel farther than a budget or a calendar can. A few minutes watching another place can be enough to change the feeling of an ordinary afternoon.
