I’m not telling you something you don’t already know, but 2020 has really sucked so far.

And you’re a person who regularly travels for business or pleasure, you know that’s it’s been a big adjustment being stuck at home and pretty much not being able to go ANYWHERE.

Travel blogger Sharon Waugh is based in South Africa but she, like all of us, is also stuck at home. So what’s a travel enthusiast to do…?

Waugh decided to spend her time recreating cliché travel photos that you routinely see people post on Instagram in her apartment and they are funny and totally spot-on.

Take a look at her photos. We think they’re great!

1. High on the mountaintop…

But now in your kitchen.

Lockdown Level 3 means you can officially climb Table Mountain. Considering that takes about 2 hours each way, I think I'll just sit here at the bottom until the cable car operates again. . . . . . #lockdownlife #capetown #?? #? #tablemountain #travelblogger #lockdown #mondaymemories #lockdownhumour #capetownblogger #shewhowanders #coronadiaries #spotthedifference #travellocal #southafrica #fromwhereisit #recreation #travelsouthafrica #viewfromthetop #travellersofinstagram #2020travel #rockthelockdown #travelgirl #satravelblogger #coronadays #travelphoto #southafricanbloggers #travelobsessed #wewilltravelagain #stayhome

2. The Sydney Opera House.

Nice placement with the dishes, at least…

Not the most impressive iconic landmark reconstruction I've created since the beginning of lockdown but it'll do. .

3. Jump for joy!

But do it inside for now.

4. Oh, to be at the beach…

Don’t try to surf with that ironing board.

Here, in Cape Town, surfing is now permitted but standing around on the beach posing for Instagrams is not. So, if you're looking for me, I'll be at home doing 'housework'. . #caronadiaries . . . . #surfing #antiinfluencer #sundayfunday #beachday #surfsup #travelblogger #surflife #surfergirl #ironing #parody #vitaminsea #surfboard #2020travel #beachbody #lockdownsurvival #lockdownblog #vamosalaplaya #lockdownlife #instatravel #lockdownsa #muizenberg #bikini #lockdownhumour #lockdown #foreversummer #lockdownphotography #lockdowndiaries #coronacation #wewilltravelagain

5. Come right this way.

Doesn’t quite have the same look to it, does it?

6. Getting out in nature.

The great indoors.

Hmmmm, well, this will have to do for now.

8. The Taj Mahal.

I love this one!

If you thought the fort was impressive, how's this for an magnificent construction? Appreciating architectural marvels is not what it used to be.

We’ll get back to it soon!

Ah classic 'heart hands!' I should have used this cheesy travel pose more when I had the chance. (If you never read my post on how to avoid becoming an Instagram travel cliche, you still can.

10. Definitely an “influencer” photo.

Get out of the road!

Actually, I don't know why I'm practising this pose. After this, no one is going to be lying anywhere where anyone may once have sneezed!

11. Close enough…

Gotta do the best with what you have.

12. Nailed that pose!

The lighting works, too!

Those are great!

Let’s hope that we can all travel to REAL places sooner than later.
