Travelling can be fun, highly satisfying and inspiring. But it can also be boring, limb stiffening and slightly mind-numbing if you have endless hours in-flight or waiting in airports for your journey.The toll on the body and mind can be neglected
It's been a long drag keeping our feet planted on terra firma when startling blue skies with delicious white fluffy clouds have been calling to our nomadic spirits.
Several countries around the world – including the U.K, China, Russia and the United Arab Emirates – have begun their vaccination programmes against Covid-19, with many other countries (including the USA) expected to follow later this month.
Just because we’re in the middle of a pandemic and most of the world is in some sort of lockdown doesn’t mean we can’t plan ahead with our travels. In fact, we think that’s exactly what you should be doing right now. Use this time when you are stuck at home to open up your laptop, start dreaming about your future travels and get planning. Here are a few reasons why we think now is the perfect time to plan ahead.

Even when the pandemic starts to fade away and tourism resumes, will as many of us fly as before?
