Dreaming of adventure…

As of press time, the COVID-19 pandemic is still making all but the most essential travel impossible. However, for many people, the ban has merely strengthened their resolve to travel once we can safely do so again. The pandemic has had an unexpected side effect: we appreciate our regular freedoms much more, as well as the suddenness with which life can change completely, and our wanderlust has gone off the charts. There is a feeling that, once the pandemic is over, we will make up for the living we were not allowed to do while it was going on, and for many of us, this means seeking out adventure and new experiences. Stay-at-home orders give us the perfect time to dream and plan, to consider destinations we might have overlooked, different goals in our travels, such as visiting the 50 most beautiful cities in the world, volunteering, or supporting local environmental efforts, and ways of traveling that might have given us pause before, like traveling solo. Many of us have spent the year cooped up with family or roommates, and are desperate for time alone to process. Others have been alone far too much, and crave social connection. The solo trip serves both these needs, and these are the best destinations for one. Even if your travel budget is in the red, here are some ways you can travel for practically nothing.
