The rainy season is in full swing, leaving many of us cooped up indoors and far from the usual outdoor activities we frequently enjoy. But who says staying at home should be boring? Thanks to pocket WiFis, like the devices offered by Smart Bro, you can explore exciting virtual adventures right from the comfort of home.
The next time you find yourself stuck at home because of heavy rains—or maybe just wanting to stay in—make sure you whip out your pocket WiFi and try these fun indoor activities:
Discover a hidden gem on Netflix
As one of the top streaming services in the world, Netflix has thousands of shows and movies for you to enjoy. The problem is that your account may already be overly optimized for your preferences, which limits suggestions. In this case, you can use genre codes to help you unearth hidden gems.
Each genre has a specific code attached to it. By typing in the code in the search box, you can pull up Netflix’s entire library of content under that genre. You can easily spend hours experimenting with different genre codes and discovering many different shows you wouldn’t have encountered if you only relied on the suggestion algorithm. Here’s a quick list to get you started:
- Anime Comedies (9302)
- Travel & Adventure Documentaries (1159)
- Independent Movies (7077)
- Dramas Based on Books (4961)
- British TV Shows (52117)
- Reality TV (9833)
Throw an epic gaming party with your friends
If everyone’s stuck at home, why not do something that all your friends can join for an afternoon of fun? You can easily host a party with your friends and start climbing the ladder on games like “League of Legends”. If MOBAs (multiplayer online battle arenas) aren’t your thing, there are a number of casual online multiplayers you can try playing with your friends, including:
- Jackbox Party Packs
- Among Us
- Gang Beasts
- Overcooked
- Prop and Seek
Tour a world-class museum online
Although setting foot inside a world famous museum is definitely the best way to view incredible pieces of art and history, it isn’t always possible to book a flight to visit the U.S., France, or the U.K. Fortunately, many of the world’s best museums now offer free virtual tours of their exhibits. Some of the standout museums doing this are:
- National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.
- Musée d’Orsay, Paris
- Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam
- National Museum of Anthropology, Mexico City
- National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul
Take an online drawing class
Looking for a creative outlet to alleviate your boredom? Why not hone your drawing skills? There are many different drawing classes online, from anime to comic book styles and everything in between. Not only will you learn valuable skills, but you’ll also have the chance to interact with fellow artists and receive feedback on your work. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, there are plenty of options available online.
Of course, your options aren’t limited to drawing. You can easily find online classes on other skills like knitting, graphic design, creative writing workshops, and the like.
Try a new recipe for a romantic dinner
You don’t always need to go out to have a romantic dinner with your significant other. You can always bring out your inner chef and try making a romantic dinner from scratch. With the help of YouTube, you can discover hundreds of amazing recipes from talented culinary content creators. With the right ingredients and a little bit of practice, the possibilities are endless. Highly recommended cooking channels include:
- Made with Lau (Chinese)
- Just One Cookbook (Japanese)
- Vincenzo’s Plate (Italian)
- Babish Culinary Universe (International)
- Joshua Weissman (International)
