10 Countries To Travel To When The World Re-Opens

Places To Travel To After Lockdown

Right now is a pretty difficult time in the world. If you’re like us, you’ve been sitting in self-isolation for a month at this time and besides trying to fill your time with online work, Netflix and Skyping with friends and family, you’re probably dreaming of travel. I know we are.

That’s why in this video our goal is to get those travel juices flowing and keep those spirits up during these tough times.

Not only is this video a list of places we really want to visit after this is all over, but it’s also a tribute to these incredible countries that are going through so much right now.

Of course, we’ll only going to travel to these places when it is safe and responsible to do so, but by keeping them at the forefront of our thoughts, it helps to keep us going in this difficult time and I hope it does the same for you.

Here it goes, our list of 10 places to travel after lockdown.

1. Slovenia (1:03)

From stunning vistas and beautiful lakes to snowcapped peaks and spectacular hiking, Slovenia is one place that Dariece and I have always wanted to go. In fact, it was on our travel itinerary for 2020 before we had to cancel everything.

2. Ireland (1:58)

Ireland was the place we were meant to go to next, after Portugal. In fact, we would’ve been travelling there right now if everything didn’t change a few weeks ago. So it’s definitely on our travel bucket list for when things are opened up again.

We were actually supposed to be there for St. Paddy’s day but of course, that was cancelled. I can imagine that in itself would’ve been pretty tough for a lot of Irish people to deal with.

3. Bulgaria (2:54)

Bulgaria is a place we’ve been to before and we absolutely loved it. The people there are so friendly and “Ailak” (subtitle).

Also, it’s another one of the best places for fly fishing, so that could be part of the reason I want to go so bad.

4. Grenada (3:36)

Grenada is our home. This is the island where we’ve been living for the past 5 years. It’s where our friends are, it’s where we have our things stored and it’s a place we love more than anywhere.

When this is all over, Dariece and I will be heading back there to be with our friends and to help the island as much as we can.

5. Canada (4:30)

As Canadians, we strongly considered heading back to Canada when our Prime Minister called back all their citizens. But that call was for those who are residents with health insurance in the country.

We are non-residents and thus, don’t have any Canadian health insurance, plus we’re young so would worry about being asymptomatic on a plane and passing it to someone more vulnerable than us.

All I can say is that while Canada may not be our home anymore, it’s always our homeland and we can’t wait to get back and give every one of our family members a massive hug.

6. Argentina (5:32)

Are you starting to see a pattern here? Most of the places I’m listing are the ones with epic nature and again, you really can’t beat pristine Patagonia or the Argentinian Lake District when it comes to fantastic landscapes and raw natural beauty.

7. Italy (6:35)

If there is one place in the world that I’d want to live outside of Grenada, it would be Italy. We absolutely love the Italian people and their unconditional love for life and all things pleasure.

We’ve all heard about what’s going on there right now and it’s devastating. All we can think of is how wonderful Italian people are. We know they can get through this and we really hope that it turns around soon for them.

8. Portugal (7:36)

Even though I’m filming this video from Lisbon, and we did have about a week to explore the city before everything changed, Portugal is a place that we can’t wait to explore more of.

It's also a place that will always have a special place in our hearts now. I think that we’ve been a part of something enormous here and we feel like we’re all in this together in Lisbon. It’s like we’ve already been through so much with the Portuguese people and they’ve been so kind to us during it all.

9. New Zealand (9:04)

A few of our friends, including one of my best travel buddies, are currently isolating in New Zealand.

My buddy Jason is lucky enough to have a place out in nature, so he’s been sending me photos of beautiful coastal walks and hikes he was doing and it just reminded me of how bad we both want to visit New Zealand one day.

10. Botswana (10:15)

It’s been a long time since we did any safaris, and I think now is a good time to be reminded of how incredible Mother Nature can be. There’s nowhere better to get up close and personal with wildlife than Africa, and Botswana has some of the best parks in the continent.
