Low on travel money? How to virtually road trip for free

by Anna Brones (RSS feed) on Jun 2nd 2008 at 1:00PM

This year the popular summer travel season doesn't seem quite so enticing. Gas is over $4 a gallon, the dollar is so low that in Europe they're getting used for scrap paper and airlines now have you paying to check baggage. What is a travel hungry person to do?

Fortunately there's Streetviewr, a site that compiles just what the website's name indicates: street views (thanks to the technology over at Google). With streets from over 40 American cities, a little time spent browsing the site is almost like a good road trip... but for free.

Ok ok, obviously sitting in front of the computer is not as good as actually traveling, but we'll take what we can get. Here's to cheap summer internet travels!
