虛擬旅行，是個有趣的想法.... 有鑒於生活中種種的限制，想隨時去當個背包客，畢竟不是件說走就走的事情。
日前在整理澳門遊照片時，意識到原來網路資訊爆炸到一種不可思議的程度，不僅有許多熱血網友寫的網誌外，還有Wikipedia與Google Maps的街景，當然還有更多的旅行照片與官網，可做為記錄的參考。
同時也萌生了另一個想法，如果減去了親身經歷的旅行，那不就成了一種另類的不受時間與預算限制的虛擬旅行嗎?
這個想法也不是多新鮮，兩個美國年輕人Marc Horowitz 和Pete Baldes 在兩年前就利用了Google Maps，9天完成了橫跨美國公路的"壯遊"。Link Here
因此，雖無法隨時說走就走去看看世界，但可以至少讓自己先利用網路任意門去過個乾癮吧!
Virtual Travel is an interesting idea... Due to lots of constraints in life, it's hard to be a backpacker anytime if I want.
The reason why this idea came to me is that I realized there are billions of information being existed on internet when I organized my photos after Macau's trip few weeks ago. That includes blogs, Wikipedia, Street View on Google Maps and lots of beautiful pictures....etc.
At the same moment, I was thinking that it's the so-called "virtual travel" if I've never been that place but still can get the same information from these internet resources.....
Actually, 2 years ago, there were also 2 American young guys, Marc Horowitz and Pete Baldes, travelling across the US entirely on Google Maps within 9 days. Link Here
Therefore, it's one cool alternative solution for me when I can't leave for a trip right away for some reason!
