10 awesome apps for exploring the world from your couch

Traveling abroad is awesome, don't you think? Seeing new places, meeting new people, learning about a nation's customs – there's nothing quite like it! There's one not-so-minor problem, however. Few of us have the time and/or resources to embark on a journey to a foreign country.

Thankfully, there's quite a lot that out mobile gadgets can do. They can't teleport us across the ocean, of course, but they can take us on a trip across the world, albeit a virtual one. We give you 10 apps made for the purpose – 10 apps that let you explore distant lands right from the comfort of your couch. Check them out in the slideshow below!
