Embrace Spring: Virtual Tours of Cherry Blossoms

Posted by nikkidiscovers on

I’m a bit behind with blogging, and this post about virtual tours of Cherry Blossom trees was meant to go live while the blossoms were still in full bloom. Then, I got caught up in learning how to optimize YouTube videos for work—something I knew little about aside from watching countless videos on the platform. If you have any YouTube channel tips, I’d love to hear them!

Now, back to the Cherry Blossoms. While these stunning pink trees don’t grow in South Africa, I had the chance to experience them in Bonn, Germany. I’ve put together a roundup of these virtual tours, so even though the Cherry Blossoms are no longer blooming, you can still enjoy their beauty online.
