When Can We Travel Again?

The TL;DR is: we don’t know.

The long story is we don’t know because every country and company is going to be a little different. There will be different restrictions at borders, there may be quarantine mandates based on your passport, there will be different commercial flight availability for each country, there will be changes. It will be be different. Will it be different forever? We also don’t know.

To be travel experts and to not know doesn’t feel great but we have been signing up for every single travel talk, industry webinar and community meeting possible. We don’t love getting you to travel, we love travel, too! We want to help you travel safely but we also want to travel safely!

What we do know is that when travel opens up again ( probably at a trickle to start as countries and travel companies figure out their specific plans) we will be there right with you to make sure you are as safe, confident and comfortable as always. We have have always been proud of our clean safety record- more than 800 people have traveled with us safely to more than 20 projects! Remember, we go to all the placements first to make sure they are safe, they are ethical and they care authentically helping animals. We will not blindly be sending clients back into the field to help animals. We will be making sure everyone will be safe every step of their adventure.

We also have been in regular meetings with all our placements. There are already policies written to help keep you safe. Quarantine friendly housing is just the beginning! Don’t worry, like I said, when you are ready to travel, when the world is ready to have you travel, we will be sharing with you the plans we have developed and agreed on.

In the meantime, I am still here! Answering questions, helping ease anxieties and working on travel plans (for myself and others traveling in 2021 and beyond), if you have questions send me a message!

We won’t be sheltering in place forever so allow yourself to dream. Think about where you would like to go, who you would like to volunteer with, what animals you would like to meet when this is all over. Because, it will be over, we aren’t sure when but it will end.

Travel will be safe, it will be fun, it will be an adventure, it will be later.
