Sadly, it looks like our dreams for international travel are on hold again in 2021. We were hoping for a UK and Ireland road trip in May, but have now pushed that back to September.

Some destinations, like our own country, Australia, are talking of keeping their borders closed until 2022. Kinda scary for a country so dependent on international tourism.

1. PRIORITIZE TRAVEL

Embrace Staycations. It’s a fun and affordable way to live the travel experience. Choose a new fun activity to do in the, make use of the hotel amenities, and eat at a new (outdoor) restaurant.

2. TRAVEL LOCAL / STAYCATIONS

3. TRY CAMPING AND RV TRAVEL

There is so much opportunity in North Carolina and nearby East Coast states for camping and RV travel.

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.

4. EMBRACE DOMESTIC ROAD TRIPS

5. SEEK SECLUSION AND SIMPLICITY

Rent apartments and homes with those in your bubble. You’ll have less touch points with outsiders and more of the comforts you have gotten used to.
