The World is Re-Awakening
The resumption of travel will be bumpy, confusing and frustrating - this is all part of getting back to the 'new normal'. Be patient as the world re-opens. Keep an open mind as you set off on your travels again. Hotels may be understaffed, service levels may be not quite what you are used to as new staff are trained. Tour buses and hotels have been empty for the better part of 18 months. Local villagers and communities need to re-adjust to foreigners visiting once more. Old haunts you used to frequent may no longer exist but exciting new venues are waiting for you to discover them. Travel like an explorer as the world wakes up. Be curious, open minded and forgiving to the teething problems as tourism rejuvenates. Appreciate it all - the smooth sailings and the bumpy roads. It is all part of the journey after all and we all know its the journey not the destination that makes the best stories!
