RE: Contemplating Radical Life Changes

in #travel5 years ago

I think this is a brilliant idea @ericvancewalton and why not start exploring your own country for now until the borders open up for travel outside your country! I'm sure there are many places you have not been to locally? Many of the caravan parks as we call them here have really good modern facilities and ablutions.
I've been thinking of going away to some of our favourite local spots as we have timeshare points which gives us great flexibility about where to go, but we have to recover now from 3 months of no income first and see to the guests who are slowly coming back. Thank goodness for our local training centre who use us as their preferred provider! People are afraid to travel now for leisure as the infection rate is spiking here at the moment!
My oldest son who really is a bright young man and has been researching Covid to death, still said to me when this all started in the beginning of the year that he never thought he would experience something of this magnitude in his lifetime. I really thought this time he was wrong, but became a tad alarmed as he is very level headed. Look what it's done to this world of ours almost overnight!
BUT, I do believe it's the mishandling by politicians that's turned this into a nightmare, especially as far as world economies go!
Dying to see what you decide to do with this!

Thanks Lizelle! The US is just so vast. I've only seen about 1/3rd of it in my 49 years. We could also explore Canada and South America once the borders open up. There are YouTubers from Toronto that loaded one of these on a cargo ship and have been traveling around Europe for years. This is ultimately what I'd like to do. Once the van is paid for living expenses would be way less than living in a traditional house.

I'm glad to hear that you're the preferred provider of the local training centre and you've been able to maintain some business that way! This ordeal is crushing the hospitality and restaurant industries here in the US. I wonder if Airbnb will survive this second wave. Infection rates are climbing in the US too, some places are way worse than others. Some are even advising to stock up on non-perishables and disinfectant/toilet paper again in anticipation of a supply chain disruption during this second wave. What a true nightmare this is!

Have a wonderful week my friend!
