Welcome to Your Travel Inspirations
Welcome to your weekly roundup of travel-related news and inspiration that you might have missed. This weekend, I am eager to explore Moab, Utah, and visit Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. These stunning spots have long been on my “to hike” list, and I look forward to sharing insights on how the parks prepare for the busy summer season.
As summer approaches, many of you may be planning your holidays. However, international events, such as the war in Ukraine and the ongoing pandemic, continue to impact travel worldwide. Consequently, it is essential to stay informed about current travel conditions wherever you plan to visit.
Preparing to Travel to Europe
If you’re headed to Europe, you may have heard that the European Union has lifted its face mask requirement on public transit. Nevertheless, individual countries and airlines might have specific policies, so it’s wise to be aware of those that may affect your travel plans. Moreover, consider keeping a mask on hand just in case.
Spain, for example, has announced it will extend its COVID-19 travel restrictions until June 15. It’s crucial to understand all travel guidelines before making arrangements.
Traveling to New Zealand
Attention to those making plans for New Zealand: the border ban will be lifted on July 31. Additionally, there is a new initiative by Prince Harry to promote ecologically sustainable travel. This aligns with New Zealand’s reputation for adventure hiking, particularly on its famous Great Walks.
Traveling to the United States
If you’re planning to visit the United States this summer, perhaps for a scenic train trip through Southern California or to discover the majestic national parks, there are several considerations to keep in mind. It is important to research and understand the current travel restrictions and guidelines.
For those visiting Florida, ensure you explore dog-friendly destinations if you plan to take your pets along. There are numerous great spots to enjoy in the Sunshine State.
