Most people use Mother’s Day weekend as an excuse to take their mom on a travel adventure.
However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and travel bans taking your mom away for a weekend is impossible. While it may seem impossible to physically travel, virtual experiences are available.
Airbnb has tailored a collection of Online Experiences for all those planning the perfect day for mom. Online Experiences offer guests unique opportunities to shower their mom with affection this month, even if physically separated.
Here’s how you can travel the world with your mom from the comfort of your home:
The Art of Forest Bathing
Where: Sintra, Portugal
Forest bathing is a form of nature therapy practised in Japan in which you bathe in the atmosphere of the forest, fully taking it in through your senses.
This experience allows your mom to join from the comfort of her home. The experience starts with a guided sensory experience to help calm the mind, followed by a series of sensory invitations that help connect with the individual and with the natural elements around.
The experience is perfect for moms who need a breather.
