With much of the world united in quarantine right now, the longing for travel has never been more real.

A website called Window Swap aims to satisfy your wanderlust from home by letting you enjoy the view from someone else's window for a change. 

From small, quiet villages in northern Spain to condo views facing the Sydney Opera House, you'll feel like you're living someone else's life.

"Let's face it. We are all stuck indoors. And it's going to be a while till we travel again," says the website.

"Window Swap is here to fill that deep void in our wanderlust hearts by allowing us to look through someone else's window, somewhere in the world, for a while."

The website was started by husband and wife in Singapore, Sonali Ranjit and Vaishnav Balasubramaniam, as something to do in quarantine, reports Travel + Leisure.

You can share your window view, too. All you have to do is take a 10-minute HD horizontal recording of your view and submit it here.

So, until you can jet off on your next exotic vacation, these views will help you craft the perfect bucket list.
