Since many of us can’t travel internationally this summer, advertising creatives Sonali Ranjit and Vaishnav Balasubramaniam took it upon themselves to create an app that helps satisfy wanderlust from home. The app, called Window Swap, allows you to virtually explore new destinations by looking out of people’s windows around the globe.
You can tune in to Bavaria’s sprawling meadows, watch Mexico City’s busy streets, and have a top-floor view of Vilnius’ shiny towers. Although the app is relatively new, there are now more than 60 videos from over 26 countries. The feed is filled by app users from around the world. Anyone can contribute by recording a 10-minute HD video of their area through their window — sharing a peek into the daily life of their hometown. The footage doesn’t have to be perfect, as the app demonstrates real-life scenes such as backyards, gardens, and even cats looking out of windows.
