These days, we could all use a bit more of the Costa Rican “Pura Vida” mentality: simplicity, positivity, and relaxation.

If cityscapes are more your jam, make the digital pilgrimage to the Inbal Jerusalem Hotel in Israel.

Just try to stay tense watching rolling waves glistening in the Malibu sunshine. Here’s a live feed of just that at the Malibu Beach Inn in California.

Missing the hustle and bustle of city life while you’re stuck on your own turf?
