Maldives: Best place to get locked down during Covid
After the start of the covid19 pandemic, many of us have become vacation deprived. Not just the vacations, we could not meet the families and relatives due to border restrictions. Before the covid19, I used to travel from Singapore to Chennai once a month to visit my family and friends. Now, not sure if we are in the post-pandemic era or not, I better say, in the pandemic era, it has been almost one year since I visited my home. Thanks to the Singapore government to relax the border rules, which encouraged me to visit my home in October 2021. After spending around 7 weeks in India, I did not want to return directly to Singapore since I thought the covid19 situation might go worse and I might get locked up on the island for one more year. Even my parents and relatives wanted a vacation badly. At the same time, I also knew there was huge uncertainty and risk involved in planning a trip for a group of 16, including kids 👶🏻 (from 3 years old) and elderly people 👴🏼 (up to 65 years old). But, I strongly believed that “Everyone needs a break from this covid19 restrictions”. Let’s breathe some fresh air and live a pre-pandemic life for some days. So, I decided to better use the opportunity when I am outside Singapore. I planned a family reunion at a private island resort in Maldives. We successfully 'executed' it in December and returned to Singapore (SG) safely. Here is my travel blog about our trip which you can use as a reference to plan your family trip.

Be In The Moment
Music. Fashion. Food. Books. TV shows. Sports. Religion. We as people always long to belong. Having a sense of meaning helps many feel as if they have a purpose. From a small book club to the captain of an intramural sports team. Fitting in is a cultural norm that we accept at a young age that is installed in our Minds before we learn a single class in school. Your parents put you into sports to make friends, to fit in. They enroll you in piano to join a class of kids who play piano to fit in. We as people our entire life try to fit in and be liked by others just to feel good about ourselves. We are obsessed with never missing out. the idea of FOMO is a poison that we made ourselves via social media, the very thing that’s supposed to bring people closer has never made people feel so far apart. Attached to our screens moving to another day in and day out. You start to wonder if everything I see and how people are now, is what I want to fit in with. At some point, it’s exhausting to worry about what others think and do and keep up with the jones’. At some point, you just want to get out of this matrix we are currently building and then complain about building.

3 Things You Really Need to Know Before Taking a Road Trip
A car. The open road. A whole continent waiting behind the setting sun. I love a good road trip. Before the world shut down for the second time, I spent 3 months driving around Europe in my little red Toyota. How it survived the thousands of miles I have absolutely no idea, given that the damn thing is breaking down every second Wednesday when I’m at home, but, aside from a flat battery in Amsterdam (my fault), all went well.

Everything you need to know about travel to Canada in our Canada travel guide.
Planning on traveling to a different country? Plan wisely. The competition at the top is getting stiffer, which means you have to leave no stone unturned if you want to stand out. Part of doing so will mean having adequate information about each prospective destination – including travel warnings and key details that may affect your trips such as safety considerations or the price of goods — and alternative options. When traveling to a foreign country, it's important to go the extra mile to make sure you are adequately prepared. This can mean doing things that other tourists might not be willing to do (such as seeking out important vaccinations and booking a hotel in an area that is safer than where most tourists stay). Or, having conversations with others who have traveled there in the past so you will know what they would recommend as a necessary precaution while on vacation.
