Safe Driving Skills

Good safe driving skills are created from time with continued education. I’m always open to learning how to keep my loved ones safe on the road in all types of weather conditions. Enjoy this article I found on www.overlandsite.com about vacationing during COVID-19 

Due to the changes in society inflicted by the Coronavirus pandemic, those wishing to continue to travel have to adapt. The amenities we previously relied on for vacations and adventures are no longer available or are limited and uncertain.

COVID-19 is a global problem that has airlines, hotels, and other travel-related businesses shut down or operating at reduced capacity.

Some airlines have cut their capacity by as much as 40%. It will be years before the industry resumes normal operations.

Most hotels are only keeping a skeleton crew on hand to assist first responders and other essential guests.

Because of this, travel is having to take on a new image. We have to find new ways to explore our planet.

This is where Overlanding steps in.

Vacationing After The Pandemic

Holidaying at popular theme parks and crowded beaches no longer has the same appeal. Travelers will want destinations with smaller crowds, fewer people to bump into or perhaps destinations free of people altogether.

Activities involving fewer or no people are not just for the introverted; it is becoming the new norm.

It is as if vacations like camping and backpacking were made for a post-COVID-19 society.

However, to really get away from the crowds, and experience outdoors on a more intimate level, there is Overlanding: a fusion of camping and off-roading, adventure and escapism, and the ultimate vacation in this new post-COVID world.

Overlanding: The Perfect Post-Pandemic Vacation

More profound and more complex than car-camping or four-wheeling, overlanding is described as adventure travel to remote locations, sometimes taking weeks or months to reach the final destination.

The whole concept behind overlanding is to include in your multi-day, week or month trip, two or more of the following: under or lightly explored regions, remote locations,  unique culture, or scenery, or self-reliance in unfamiliar places.

The international overlanding community is growing, spanning countries and continents.

The advent of the internet has given the overlanding community the opportunity to connect with fellow adventurers.

People are now able to share information, tips, and experiences.

What route to take?

What skills do you need?

What experiences will you encounter?

These are all questions discussed in forums and rated on overlanding sites.
