Even if you’re excited to get back to traveling, hitting the road isn’t always easy if you haven’t done it in a long time—but you can make your next trip less anxiety-inducing with these useful tips.
Follow the Guidelines
If you’re considering a trip to a foreign country, check if they require proof of vaccination status, negative COVID test, or mandatory quarantine. You should also make sure to follow safety guidelines in each new place you visit, even if you’re traveling in your home country.
Take It Easy
You can scratch your travel itch without traveling to a different continent or a foreign country. Staycations and road trips are a great option if you’re still not ready for international travel. A visit to familiar places that you’ve enjoyed in the past is also a great way to gain back your travel confidence.
Have Company
Traveling on your own comes with a long list of benefits and many people find it empowering, but it can feel scary if you haven’t traveled anywhere for a year or longer. Test the grounds by traveling with your friends and family and see how it feels before hitting the road on your own.
