armchair traveller

Stays home, imagines

An armchair traveller experiences distant places through books, films, or other media rather than actual travel.

The image is of someone seated comfortably at home, journeying only in imagination: She became an armchair traveller after her health declined, exploring the world through travel documentaries.

Also spelled armchair traveler.
