Working from home has become the norm during the pandemic, bringing benefits such as savings on travel and wearing comfortable clothes throughout the day – but it’s also given rise to the popularity of workcations.
Here in Europe, jetting off for a long weekend holiday in another country was a common occurrence pre-pandemic. With a whole continent on our doorstep, we took advantage of cheap flights and short travel distances to enjoy fleeting trips that flew by. We could jet off across the English Channel or hop on a train and be in a different country in less than an hour, border hopping to our heart’s content. As we move into the second year of the Covid-19 pandemic, will weekends away ever resume?
Many of us will currently be debated whether we should book travels abroad this year. At the moment, travel restrictions and country-wide lockdowns are in place all around the world, making it difficult to plan our trips for the foreseeable future. Our advice is to stay local and take a staycation over the summer, with the hope of traveling overseas towards the end of the year.
If you are planning ahead and booking a trip for later this year, it’s best to be cautious. We hope that it will be safe to fly between some destinations, but it is unlikely that international travel will fully open up in the next few months. It’s

Not only are long walks good for our physical health but being among nature and spending time walking in the great outdoors can work wonders for our mental health, helping to boost creativity, relieve stress and even make us happier. When frequent travel becomes possible once again, how can we incorporate our new love of hiking into our future travels?
Planning any type of holiday can be stressful, but the stress can multiply when it comes to organising a ski trip. Not only do you have to book flights, hotels, and pack your luggage, but you also have the added responsibilities of checking in your ski gear, taking out the right travel insurance, and finding the best destination for all your skiing needs. What’s more, if you are travelling with a party, you will have to liaise with them to ensure everyone is on the same page.
It will come as no surprise that many of the travel trends for the year ahead have been influenced by the pandemic. Covid-19 has changed the way that we see the world dramatically, and even when the pandemic ends, there will be a lingering affect.
Covid 19 has left many of us in travel despair, depending on where we are in the world. For some, it's a case of closed borders; for others, it's a game of Russian roulette with the bug to satisfy their wandering lustful urges. Wherever it is you
