Armchair traveling nowadays is easier than ever. The web seems to have been built for it, providing instant information, background, photos and videos of every place you've ever heard of, as well as those you haven't.
There's much to be said, though, for a discerning eye. And that's what you get with photographer Carl-Magnus Dumell, a Scandinavian photographer who spends a lot of his time traveling the world, camera at the ready. You can see shots from Seattle, Mongolia, Tokyo, Paris, Senegal, and Munich, to name a few.
He's not enamored of every place he goes (Mongolia has "horrible" food; Senegal, he finds, is "unpleasant in every way"), so you won't get an invariably rosy picture of the world. But you will get some fresh images of it, with no jetlag, no crowds, and plenty of energy left over for your next adventure.
