Escape to a new vista without breaking quarantine

J. Fergus July 15, 2020 Culture Window Swap provides transfixing video views from windows across the globe. Kevin Arffandy

Window Swap is a virtual portal created by Sonali Ranjit and Vaishnav Balasubramaniam. This “quarantine project” is aimed at “travel hungry fools” who want a change of scenery, but they know how dangerous it would be to get it. Anyone can submit a 10-minute, horizontal HD video of their favorite window to share their corner of joy with the world. Tangerang Selatan, Indonesia Kevin Arffandy
