This week in inspiration: Cherry blossoms in bloom, Olympic greats, and more.

Exploring the world online is a great way to “travel” while we’re staying put—so the New York Times turned their famous 52 Places To Go list into a virtual edition. Whether it’s watching a music festival in Austin or catching the Northern Lights, see how you can keep discovering new (and amazing) things right now.

Washington D.C. is on the list for its famous cherry blossoms (among other things!), and these pretty blooms are blossoming all over the world. Here are just a few ways you can see the cherry blossoms online and experience a little of spring’s beauty at home.

We also loved this collection of drone photos from around the world, which captured some of our favorite places like Tokyo and Rome.

Artists and performers everywhere are still finding ways to share their work with audiences. Thanks to the Social Distancing Festival, you can find a roundup of different “shows” to experience online.

Last but not least, while this summer’s Tokyo Olympics may be postponed, you can still get in the spirit this week. Tune in to NBC to rewatch past matches, including Michael Phelps’ incredible swim races.
