Missing Your Travel Fix?
2020 has been a year like no other for travel. Certainly in my lifetime I've never experienced a time where I've been asked to stay at home, been restricted on seeing family and friends and as an ex-pat and travel fanatic not knowing when I can next travel internationally is really hard.
All I can say at the moment is I am so thankful for the internet! Being able to video call those I can't get to, seeing what is going on around the world and getting a virtual travel hit has been a godsend.
As destinations around the world start to ease restrictions, we are seeing some of our iVenture partner attractions and tours reopen again which is great new but still international travel is not possible for many of us.
What we are seeing is people starting to support local tourism and making the most of their home cities. This is really important both for our economies and for our own mental health - making sure where possible we get out and about within our community. So if your travel plans have been cancelled, check out what attractions are reopening near you or if you cannot go out try a virtual tour or webcams from around the world. Here's some of the best we have found so far to keep you entertained and keep the travel bug alive and well!
