Computer desktop wallpaper is a great way to achieve a bit of a visual vacation while at work, but the [Copa Airlines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/men-in-blazers) Escape campaign encourages you to step away from the on-screen landscape and towards the real thing.

A view of the sun setting on a beach or of a coral reef is a much improved experience first-hand, and the Copa Airlines Escape campaign by [Lowe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowes-community-bucket-list-tour)/SSP3 invites those in need of a getaway to turn their [screensavers into travel life savers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deskterior).
