A New Year always brings excitement for a fresh start, but 2021 is taking our hope to new heights as we say good riddance to 2020! As you plan for how you will make this year better and brighter, make these travel resolutions so that you stay inspired and enjoy travel more than ever before.

Take a long weekend getaway

There’s nothing like a big, bucket list adventure. But if you can’t take one of those in the near future, take a long weekend getaway or two. You can explore somewhere closer to home that you never would have pre-COVID, and you might just fall in love with an unexpected destination.

Stay inspired

From trying recipes from around the world at home to watching movies filmed in favorite destinations, stay inspired to travel. Check out this post for recipes, books, movies, and other ways to experience the world from home.

Be patient when you travel

It can be hard to keep your cool when the security line is a mile long and every person in front of you is getting stopped for rookie mistakes (no, you can’t bring that liter of water through, even if it is tucked in your carry-on!). But in 2021 you will be calm, cool, and collected, especially as airlines and hotels are adding extra precautions for health and safety.

Plan ahead

With the vaccine rollout, the future of travel is looking bright, so start planning ahead! There is a pent-up demand to explore, and you want to be ahead of the rush when its time to get back out there and travel.

Travel slowly

Spending time at home has taught us all to slow down and savor the small moments, and we can bring that mentality to travel. Instead of bouncing from place to place checking things off your list, travel slowly and spend more time just being in a destination.

Do what feels right to you

Some people are ready to travel now, while others aren’t quite ready to get out there. No matter where you fall on the travel spectrum, it is important to do what feels right to you. We’re here to listen to your concerns, share resources and intel, start planning with you, or just help you dream about future trips.

Don’t wait to travel

When you are ready to travel, don’t wait! From all that happened in 2020 we’ve learned that you never know what’s around the corner, so travel and make those lifelong memories when you can.
