You likely have excellent microvacation options available at home, in your neighborhood, and your broader local surroundings. However, many fantastic microvacation opportunities can easily follow you everywhere you go when you utilize the endless digital options for experiencing microvacations.
In order to get started or find new valuable options, we have collected a list of microvacation apps and other digital resources that we have actively used and can recommend to others. Many of these recommendations are available worldwide, while some may be limited to a more local audience.
The list will be updated regularly when we spot new valuable digital tools for taking microvacations. We’ll also introduce some of these resources in the blog in more detail. If you find any other useful tools that could be added to the list, please let us know in the comments and we’ll have a closer look.
