If you're not quite ready to readjust to the not-so-lazy days of the rest of the year, you might want to give YouTube's latest channel a spin.
On the official YouTube blog, YouTuber Mark Day wrote, "There’s no shortage of videos on YouTube to inspire travel plans, and our new program Vacationer... brings the best of our partners’ travel content into a single destination."
The Vacationer channel offers a carousel of escapist frolics shot in pleasant and exotic locations. Provided by such entities as National Geographic, the Travel Channel, HowCast, Lonely Planet and more, the content ranges from videos of steel drums and belly dancers to clips of a 24-hour sojourn in New York City.
These videos run the gamut from fascinating to entertaining to genuinely useful, and cover vacation information and inspiration for the U.S., Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and "exotic" locales.
While this might not be as practical as a simple YouTube search if you already have a destination in mind, it's a great place to get ideas for your next trip or simply learn about interesting destinations around the world.
We also like the channel's interface, which reminds us distinctly of iTunes's Cover Flow.
The channel is sponsored by Norweigan Cruise Lines, which gets its own tab on the channel for showcasing its cruise ship-related videos.
