Time moves too fast and there are still too many unknown, high case numbers, and slow delivery of vaccinations – which really don’t even have the reassurances we need, like long-term protection and the prevention of passing on COVID.

HOW TO MAKE TRAVEL WORK IN 2021

Time moves too fast and there are still too many unknown, high case numbers, and slow delivery of vaccinations – which really don’t even have the reassurances we need, like long-term protection and the prevention of passing on COVID.

PRIORITIZE TRAVEL

Travel has always been a priority in our lives, which is why that’s all we’ve done for 23 years. It takes a lockdown for many to realize how it feels to be disconnected from the joy, growth, and adventure that travel brings us.

TRAVEL LOCAL / STAYCATIONS

Raleigh is such a liveable place, you can easily do this. Back in 2010 we went through a huge financial crisis which caused us to lose two houses ($500,000 in assets) and landed us in $30,000 of credit card debt and living with Craig’s parents back in Australia.

TRY CAMPING AND RV TRAVEL

It might seem a little cold for it right now, but trust me, we traveled across the western part of the USA in a travel trailer for nearly 12 months – it was cold most of the time! We actually camped in Asheville with snow flurries and had a great time!

EMBRACE DOMESTIC ROAD TRIPS

Now is a fantastic time to be enjoying road trips as it’s not as busy. You can rent a house on the beach for far less than the summer months. A beach vacation is WONDERFUL at any time of the year.

SEEK SECLUSION AND SIMPLICITY

Why camping, road trips, and RV travel will be hot. It allows us to keep our safe and familiar seclusion bubbles. Seek lessor known destinations. Head to state parks over (currently crowded) national parks.

GET READY FOR SAFE TRAVEL & DEALS

Be ready for the deals. The most popular destinations may go the other way and be more expensive as demand will be hot.
