This last year has, so far, been absolutely appalling. Nothing other than a vacation could make up for the last six months of intense, grueling isolation, made worse by the fact that just beyond the periphery of our homes awaits a silent killer. The virus that caused all of this, while still present, is slowly infecting less and fewer people, and vaccines are just on the horizon. Because of the reduction in the reproduction rate, our governments have allowed us to travel abroad and go on holiday once more. Travelling, however, must be done safely and cautiously, and you must remember that while the virus is quiet at the moment, there is always the potential for you to become infected, and for you to be its next victim. Travel responsibly, cautiously, and safely.
Here are four unique ideas for a perfect getaway.
- Cashback Vacations
If you love saving money, while traveling, then a cashback vacation could definitely be for you. Cashback vacations are a lot of fun and if you want to save some quick cash, then check them out, as they are totally awesome. A cashback vacation is a vacation in which, for purchasing flights and hotels (usually all-inclusively) you are given a percentage of your money back as a cashback. These schemes have been implemented by many travel agencies all around the world as a way to motivate people to travel again, with restrictions finally being lifted. Cashback vacations are a great option, now more than ever, with record levels of unemployment, and the world slowly sinking into a global recession. Cashback vacations usually offer cashback in the region of 5% to 7%, although some can be much more than that. Shop around and find the best cashback package for you, so you can have an awesome vacation, and save money!
- Backpacking
There is probably no better time than now to backpack. People are frightened of contracting the virus, because of this, people are trying to avoid tourist destinations and busy hotels and buildings. Backpacking removes the need for this as you bring a tent and find sustenance along the way. Backpacking enables you to avoid human contact and stay out in the wilderness, truly experiencing what a country may have to offer. Winter is approaching, so if you are going to backpack, be sure to backpack in places wherein it is safe for you to do so and that you will not become cold. If you are going to be backpacking between countries, check border restrictions and ensure that where you are traveling to is allowed in international and foreign visitors, which many nations are not at the moment because of the virus. Backpacking is an experience that you will never forget, and one that can provide you with memories that will last a lifetime. Everybody should go backpacking at least once in their life. It’s great.
- Cruise
Cruises are back again, too. A cruise is a fun, awesome way to go on vacation, and will allow you to see multiple countries at once. Cruises are very popular amongst families and the older generation but should be tried out for people of ages. Cruises should only be visited with caution now, however, as you will be in close quarters with people. Many cruises are checking people for infection before their visit, which is great and a fantastic way to ensure the safety of those onboard and means you can rest in the knowledge that nobody on the ship with you is harboring the virus that caused all of this.
- Staying on a Nature Reserve
Staying on a nature reserve is a fantastic way to have a great vacation and avoid people. Many nature reserves are back open and are offering accommodation and all-inclusive breaks. A nature reserve is a lot of fun and a fantastic way to spend a vacation. If you are concerned about people potentially infecting you and have an affinity and love for animals and nature, then you must stay on a nature reserve. Nature reserves are often priced very economically and allow you to get close and personal with some of nature’s most endangered and wild species. A nature reserve is a vacation well spent, and something that everybody must do once. It is, surprisingly, a vacation that many people do not consider. Many reserves also offer safaris. Consider a reserve for your next trip.
