Rise of the Travel Pod
People are desperately craving to get out of isolation and ways to connect with family and friends. As the holidays are fast approaching and the pandemic doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon, the travel pod is trending as a new way to travel.
What is a travel pod?
A travel pod also called a vacation pod, is when two or more households (couples, families, or friends) decided to travel together in hopes of minimizing coming in contact with unknown travelers and the risks typically associated with group travel.
Communication and values are probably the most important thing to consider when putting together a pod. However, the first thing you need to determine is if traveling is right for you at this moment. I encourage you to check out our recent podcast with Dr. Yvetter McQueen on traveling during a pandemic.
