Can you travel today?
YES (more on that in a moment)
As you all know it’s been an unusual year that has clearly disrupted our thought patterns.
In the past months, we’ve taken time to read, research & observe. We’ve also often thought of all of you and are looking forward to seeing you again.
Here’s what we know…
Travel is happening each day. The moment we step out of our front door, we are traveling.
Most of us don’t realize that because we’re in our comfort zone.
The greatest shift we’ve seen is an increase in outdoor exploration, camping, and road trips.
Say YES to Mother Nature!
So, what IS the truth about travel outside the USA? Let’s dive in!

Now, the BIG question: Is it safe to travel?
For many, the answer is NO…except in my town, camping, inside the USA, with friends or family.
For others the answer is YES – let’s go!
If you do travel, here are a few things to consider:
✔️ Choose countries with strong safety & testing protocols. Tanzania is one of the best we’ve seen!
✔️ Dine outside or enjoy private chef dinners.
✔️ Support local businesses & people.

Whatever you choose, the world will be here when you’re ready to return to travel.
