Like a Dutch man.

Since it’s currently recommended in the U.S. to avoid gatherings with 10 or more people for at least the next few weeks, finding ways to not only keep your mind busy but also your friendships intact is important. Being alone is hard, but by utilizing the technology and tools at your disposal, warding off loneliness is possible.
Between hosting a virtual game night, a paint party, or just chatting the night away over a glass of wine, there’s so much potential when it comes to virtually spending time with friends. If, however, you’re just looking for a chill night with your crew and your favorite shows, here are a few of the best ways to create a viewing party from the comfort and safety of your own home.
