While it’s too soon to say that we’ve overcome Coronavirus—the world is still in many ways under its thumb—we are also beginning to see a return back to normal now that the vaccine has been out for months. As a result, many countries are opening their borders and travel is becoming an option in a way that it has not been in a long time.
Naturally, travel lovers who have been cooped up in their home countries for long months on end are eager to get back to their love of seeing the world. But is it too soon? Is traveling right now safe? Is it worth it?
Well, here are a few things to consider.
Take it While it’s Hot
On the one hand, if you are vaccinated, you’ll have many more options for travel, with a lot of countries allowing in vaccinated travelers without quarantine requirements. And with time, travel is only becoming less flexible and more crowded, which means the window to take advantage of empty Corona planes is quickly closing.
It’s Still Risky
On the other hand, there’s no way to guarantee that you’ll be 100% safe; there are still too many unknowns when it comes to the vaccine. The last thing you want is being stuck abroad when a new Covid variant pops up and changes everything.
Ultimately, like everything, it’s a matter of making your own judgment call.
