People around the world are coming up with great ways to pass the time during COVID-19.
Lithuanian travel writer Gabrielė Štaraitė has been grounded from her usual itineraries thanks to the virus, so she decided to start a Quarantine Travel Challenge online so everyone can have extra fun at home. Her friend, fellow travel writer Liudas Dapkus, was one of the first to get involved.

Liudas, who has been working with the Associated Press for more than 22 years, took the ball and ran with it! He extended the challenge to his social media communities, and soon a funny new trend was born.
The idea is to take a photograph from one of your best vacations and try to recreate it at home. Of course, you should try to make it as funny as possible, just like our 25 favorites!
