How Can I Travel More in 2020?
2020 came as a surprise to many. It won’t be wrong to say that the entire world came to an absolute standstill with the countrywide lockdowns being strictly imposed on a global level owing massively to the outbreak of the extremely dangerous and novel coronavirus. The lockdown literally paralyzed entire continents and restricted people from traveling to and fro. Now, in many parts of the world, the situation is in control and getting better each day. In these places, the lockdown has been lifted and people have been allowed to move out of their homes and indulge in necessary activities. However, a lot of countries have still not allowed its citizens to travel locally and abroad as well unless there are emergencies.
Tourists and travelers are the ones who have been hit the hardest. All their plans related to domestic and international travels have been adversely affected and now they find themselves in a very awkward situation: they want to travel but they also want to remain safe. In order to travel more this year, it is important that each and everyone follows the recommended procedures as advised by the respective governments. Other than this, there are many ways people can increase their traveling to some extent this year.
Let us have a look at some of the ways to ensure that people get to travel more frequently this year amidst the pandemic.
Follow SOPs
Obviously the most important step is to follow the safety precautions of travel. In these uncertain and tough times be sure to keep yourself clean, carry a hand sanitizer with you, wear gloves if possible and never forget to wear a mask wherever you go.
Use Your Own Transport
This point cannot be stressed enough. Do not use public transport right now even if some of the countries have considered it safe to travel. It is always good to avoid risks as much as possible and whether we accept it or not, public transport is a risk since the proper implementation of SOPs is not confirmed yet. Hence, it is much better if you drive your way to a new location in your own car or van. In simpler words, this is a good time for a road trip.
Explore Your Own Area
There is a very wrong perception about traveling that traveling is very limited. Traveling is not only restricted to moving from one place to another remote area. In fact, exploring new places is an important part of traveling. These new places need not be located hundreds of kilometers away from where you reside. In fact, this is a great time to go to those secret places you always wanted to go but couldn’t find the time or energy to go. It is a great idea to travel to, and explore all the places that are situated in your area. These places can be parks, alleys, rivers, beaches, and other such places, depending upon the location of your residence area.
