After more than a year of being homebound, travel enthusiasts are finding themselves torn when thinking about how to approach their 2021 and 2022 trips. On one hand, cabin fever has gripped us all and we can’t wait to hop on the next plane to….well, anywhere, really; on the other hand, the thought of crowded cities and indoor museums and sites packed with visitors still makes many of us uncomfortable.

On one hand, we want to pack as much as we possibly can into our travel itinerary; on the other hand, if this past year has taught us anything, it’s the importance of slowing down and taking time to appreciate the small things.
