Travel in your backyard during COVID by Yogita Ridgley
We’re very lucky in Australia and in New Zealand when it comes to the pandemic; cases are now minimal, and borders are beginning to reopen.
For many though, who are as passionate about interstate or overseas travel as I am, we’re waiting with bated breath until it is safe to jet-set again.
Ten years ago, when I set off on my first solo travel experience, I didn’t need to think about restrictions, all I was focused on was rediscovering my authentic self and using a new experience to remove years of trauma.
Traveling solo allows you to step out of your comfort zone. You cannot see the complete picture unless you step out of the frame. That’s what happened when I went on my first trip.
Discovering how much travel changed my own life, it’s been my ambition to help other women realise positive mental, physical, and emotional health, by taking charge and making change.
But, how do we benefit from travel during a pandemic?
We just need to take a different perspective. Even within a pandemic, we can still have a similar ‘stepping out of the frame’ experience.
I love to travel and I miss it, but it’s important not to let being unable to travel upset us. Where we live is beautiful, and there are lots to see.
