We get it, you’re sick of staying at home after a really long pandemic and you’re aching to travel the world this summer. In theory, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t, but hear us out. You may be better off waiting till the fall of 2021 to travel instead of the summer, and here are a couple of reasons why.

The Pandemic Still Isn’t Over

As much as people would love to put the coronavirus in our rearview, unfortunately it’s still a thing. Yes, there are vaccines now and yes, countries are opening up their borders once more. But why not be on the safe side and wait it out just a little bit more? After all, chances are other people won’t do the same, which brings us to our next point…

It’ll Be Packed

The summer is generally a heavily packed season when it comes to tourism, and now add to that a generation of travelers who’ve been forced to stay at home for a year. Things are going to be pretty hectic, and given the last reason we gave, it probably wouldn’t hurt to avoid crowds if you can help it. There will plenty of opportunity to discover countless locations in October or November, and it’ll be cheaper and less crowded.
