Instead of indulging in consumerism on Black Friday, follow the movement to opt outside. Whether you go for a hike or just walk around the block, you can do far more exploring than just in your own neck of the woods, thanks to the Expedia ViewFinder blog. With the help of NeoMam Studios, they’ve put together a collection of “sound signatures” from some of Earth’s most remarkable places, then conceptualized those sound waves in visual form. So close your eyes, open your ears, and go on an auditory journey into some of the most fascinating corners of our planet.
