Keep Hopeful, Keep Planning

One day, the world will reopen. As much as I urge you to embrace the now, I also encourage you to keep hopeful for the future. A time when we are able to support other communities, as well as our own.

In my case, planning trips and researching destinations is therapeutic. I love the process. I love getting excited. Though this is a lesson in patience, one day, our research and planning will pay off. When that day comes, be ready.

Life is a careful balance of planning for the future, learning from the past, and being in the now.

Take this time to figure out new things you like to do—and then incorporate these things into your future travel.

Do you like to dance? Virtually learn to waltz and when you go to Vienna, waltz the night away.

Do you enjoy reading Shakespeare? Get lost in some of his works and map out the locations from his plays to make the ultimate Shakespearean getaway.
