It’s safe to say that we’re all itching to travel now more than ever before. But alas, the best thing to do right now is to stay put at home. Although, just because you can’t physically travel the world right now doesn’t mean that you can’t bring travel to you!
There are so many awesome travel subscription boxes that will make it feel like you’re across the world even if you’re really in the comfort of your own home. Considering that there are hundreds of subscription boxes to pick from, we went ahead and selected our favorites. That being said, here are eight subscription boxes that will bring travel to you.
Have you ever been to France? Oui or non? No matter if you’ve been to France or dream of going there someday, the Bon Appetit Box will satisfy both parties. This subscription box immediately transports you to the land of escargot and croissants.
With the Bon Appetit Box, you’ll receive gourmet foods from France delivered directly to your doorstep each month. Every box has a different theme and allows you to choose which type of box you’d like delivered that month from sweet, savory, or a combination of the two. Comme c’est delicieux! Which means, “How delicious!”, in French.
If you’re the type of person who likes to learn about the world through reading, The Wordy Traveler subscription box is for you. Quarterly you’ll receive a book that’s all about one amazing travel destination, a custom art print, and a delicious tea that’s sourced from the featured region.
The best part about The Wordy Traveler? A portion of the proceeds from each subscription box goes towards providing education for girls and women around the globe.
The idea of The Spicery subscription box was created by owner James Ransome, in 2006. The items in the box are inspired by his travels throughout South-East Asia and India and from his career of working as a chef in top restaurants throughout Australia and the United Kingdom.

For the mini traveler in your life, Little Passports is a subscription box that will teach your children about other parts of the world from home. There are numerous subscription boxes to choose from based on your child’s age.
If your child is 3-5 years of age, the World Explorers box focuses on themes such as music, dinosaurs, and oceans, and includes toys, stickers, activity booklets and much more. If your child is a little bit older (ages 6-10), the World Edition box focuses on one specific country per month and includes items like activity sheets, souvenirs, and other cool collectibles. There’s also a subscription box for kids ages 7-12, a Science Junior box, and a Science Expeditions box.
Last but certainly not least on our travel subscription box list is the Nonna Box. Chosen by The Wall Street Journal as one of the tastiest and worldliest food subscription boxes, this box is sure to transport you into the heart of Italy.
The Nonna Box comes monthly and includes hard-to-come-by, full-sized Italian ingredients. With the ingredients shipped to you, you’ll be able to make a mouthwatering dish that was created by a regional Italian nonna (the recipe is included in your box). You’ll get to learn about the Italian culture while whipping up food that tastes like it came directly from an authentic Italian kitchen.
Even though you may not be able to travel the world under the current circumstances, you still have the opportunity to bring a little piece of travel home to you with these subscription boxes. Consider sending a box to someone who is really missing the adventure of travel – close friends, family members, or even purchase one for yourself. It’ll bring joy and remind them/you that though we may not be able to physically travel the world right now, there are still ways that you can bring travel home.
