FAQ
What are the most important safety tips people need to keep in mind when traveling amidst COVID-19?
Know before you go. If you are planning to travel to a different county, state or country, find out what their policies are before you leave.
If you are traveling to other countries and in general want to know if they are safe One useful website is https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel.html In general, today’s travel trends tend to be shorter, closer, later. Our classes at this time follow that protocol and we strive for safety through knowing our destinations, keeping numbers small, insuring social distancing and offering experiences that mainly embrace the “great outdoors”
How do your trips and classes follow today's trends toward safety and having a positive experience without being around a lot of people?
We keep our numbers small by capping them at 10. We believe that gives us the best opportunity to meet your needs yet deliver a positive experience. This is also a better model for visiting restaurants, sites and museums, and allows social distancing. It also has the added benefit of not creating a big impact on fragile areas.
What is your favorite place?
For us, travel isn’t entirely about a place or destination. It is more about the journey and the experiences along the way. For one thing, we believe that we learn and experience more when there is no expectation for a particular outcome. Secondly, we understand that knowledge gained can be pretty static and important, however, we know that experience can be equally and perhaps even more important.
Further, we find that it can be truly enlightening to stay open to serendipity by enjoying those you meet along the way, marveling at cultural differences, being amazed by sites and spectacular natural wonders, eating new foods and observing lifestyles and traditions different than your own.
Finally, our ultimate advice is to keep your eyes and ears wide open while experiencing the world. Learn something new. Try something different. Personally engage. Relish new opportunities, and most importantly, be kind, stay flexible, eager, open and enthusiastic.
