Reasons I Want To Travel The World Again

Are You Ready To Travel The World?
Today we are getting our update on international travel and I am ready to travel the world. Although I agree that we should not be travelling at the moment. There is only so much more I can take with seeing my new granddaughter over video call. You see, she lives in Holland. So I am keen for things to get back to normal, but it will only happen if people stick to the rules. Sadly people are being vaccinated now and they think that they are invincible. They think they can’t get Covid and pass it on. They are stupid people! We need to make sure we are protecting those around us and not just ourselves.
So here I am waiting patiently for the announcement from Boris, to see what the summer holds for us all. There are many reasons I want to travel. The announcement makes a difference for millions of families, as they decide whether to travel abroad or take a staycation.
Seeing Zoe, My Granddaughter
My granddaughter was born in March 2020, just days before Europe went into lockdown. We went out the day after she was born and stayed a few days. Then we relied on video calls until July, when Boris said we could fly. We were originally going for a few days but Tilly asked to stay for 15 days. So we did just that. And it was the right choice to make, because that was the last time I saw her. I haven’t even kissed her yet, because I was too scared of passing something on to her.
I need to get out to Holland, to see Zoe, my son and daughter-in-law. We all want to go and see them but we need to wait to be fully vaccinated and make sure we are Covid free. But as much as I wish there was a way to get out there, I know its not going to be possible until it is safe. Covid will never disappear, all the time we travel from country to country.
Building My Confidence And Fixing My Mental Health
Although I suffer from anxiety, and can’t sometimes travel from one local place to another. I can travel to another country. The anxiety never goes away, but every time I travel, my confidence grows. Covid has knocked the confidence out of all of us. It has left so many more people suffering with mental health problems. I have also had to have my medication increased to cope with everything.
My confidence has completely gone! Sometimes it is a real struggle to leave the house and go for a walk. Sometimes I am a shell of the person that I was a couple of years ago. Travel builds my confidence and it helps me to focus on something other than the normal stresses of life. It helps me to face my anxiety head-on and it shows me that I am capable of doing things without having a meltdown.
To Runaway
I am ready to run away. We all do it, even if it is to the toilet for a few minutes of peace and quiet. I miss getting on an overnight coach and travelling to Europe. Really, I miss booking a flight and going the next day. I miss going to London for the day and coming back four days later.
I am ready to be a free spirit again and run away with Tilly. To teach her new things and visit new places.
To Take The Holidays That Were Cancelled Last Year
Last year I had a holiday booked for May, for me and Tilly. Unfortunately, it was cancelled due to Covid. Then In October, we made the choice to cancel a holiday to Turkey. As the rates were rising and it was too much of a risk to go over and get drunk, mixing with people from all over the world. We made the right choice and cancelled. But we literally had to book a holiday there and then or lose the money. We booked for August this year, so we are keeping our fingers crossed. But the best thing about the cancelled holidays is that we didn’t have to pay for any this year. Lastly, I am soooo ready for a holiday, because it has been so long and I was some sun, sea and seriously strong cocktails.
Where Will You Go? Will You Travel The World?
So where will you go? Are you going to staycation this year or maybe you have a cancelled holiday to take? Perhaps you have family that live abroad too, like me.
Whatever you decide to do and where ever you decide to go, We all need a break from reality, from Covid and from the stress of the past few years. Let us know where you are going on holiday.
