A Strong Return

From a logical perspective, it makes all the sense in the world. We want what we can’t have, and therefore people have wanted to travel more than ever over the last year. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if a major travel boom is on its way. It’s unclear when COVID-19 will be less of a threat than it is now, but if it ever dies down—flight bookings will skyrocket like never before.

Converting the Hermits

It’s not just the classic backpackers who will leave their homes the moment they get a chance. We believe that those who normally hate traveling will be converted to hardcore travelers because of this pandemic. Without any capabilities of leaving their home for months on end, who wouldn’t want to finally go somewhere? Indeed, we may see more backpackers than ever emerge over the next few years.

Know Your “Why?”

Traveling solo takes a lot of courage, and even more so in the post-Covid world. If you haven’t been traveling alone for a long time, it will take some time to get used to it, but having a clear reason why you want to hit the road on your own will give you the push in the right direction.

Destination Pick

Your reason for traveling will determine the kind of destination you want to pick. If you simply want to regain confidence and change the scenery, destinations you’ve visited in the past will do the trick. On the other hand, if you want your first post-Covid solo trip to be unforgettable, book a trip to a destination that you’ve been dreaming about, but never dared to visit.

Combating Loneliness

Meeting new people is one of the best parts of solo traveling, but it’s much more difficult to do it right now. You’ll have more alone time on your hands during your post-Covid trips, and you should make them as activity-packed as possible to avoid feeling lonely.

To this day, most of the world’s countries are not letting in international travelers for leisure vacations, and it might seem like this situation will never end. But will it, soon?

Vaccinations in most of the developed world are being administered and distributed at a rapid rate. Experts point to the immunity generated by vaccinations as the most key step for our world regaining something similar to normalcy and reaching herd immunity.

The moment at which herd immunity is reached, which will come accompanied by a lower caseload and hospitalization rates, is the most likely stepping stone for the re-opening of countries and the return of international travel.

So, when might this happen? Most developed nations are aiming to finish the vaccination of a large majority of their populations at some point between this summer and this fall. This means that, if things go well, much of the world may open up by the time fall or winter 2021 comes around. Summer is unlikely, but looking just a few months later, there is hope on the horizon.

However, keep in mind that not all travel destinations are in the developed world and that this may force them to wait until they get their hands on enough vaccinations to keep their own populations safe. We will just have to wait and see.

It seems as if our long travel nightmare might be finally coming to an end, so start thinking about where your dreams might take you.

Here are some things you should have on hand at all times while flying.

Hand Sanitizer

The amount of common surfaces you’ll touch while in a plane and in airports is considerable, and you’ll want to sanitize your hands with an alcohol-based solution after touching them. This will kill almost all germs that might end up on your hands and possibly infecting you.

A Quality Mask

Flying with a mask is mandatory almost everywhere on Earth now, but not all masks are equal. Don’t opt for a simple bandana or plastic shield, which allows plenty of germs in. Instead, opt for a quality cloth mask, a surgical mask, or an N95 mask, all of which offer higher levels of protection.

Sanitizing Wipes

While it might be tempting to just settle into your flight routine while on a plane, it’s important to take sanitizing wipes with you to take care of any germs that flight cleanup crews might not have been able to get to. This will allow you to feel comfortable when touching in-flight entertainment systems, tray tables, and the like.

Taking certain measures to protect your own health as well as the heath of others around you can help you minimize the risk of potentially being exposed to infection while traveling. Here are three must-dos for safety during COVID-19.

Always Wear a Mask When in Public Spaces

This should go without saying by now, but wearing a mask in public spaces when in close proximity to others is something that you should be doing now, both at home and while on vacation. Both cloth and medical masks infinitely slow down the transmission of the virus.

Sanitize and Wash Your Hands Frequently

Going on a trip means that you will probably be touching plenty of items that aren’t in the comfort of your home and which could harbor the COVID-19 virus. Keep yourself safe by frequently sanitizing your hands either with hand sanitizer or by washing them with soap and water.

Avoid Crowded Indoor Spaces

Outdoor activities are the safest thing you can do on vacation now, as being in an open-air setting greatly reduces the risk of virus transmission. With that in mind, it’s for the best at this point to avoid visits to crowded indoor spaces like museums and packed subway stations.
