FAQ: How can I explore more when staying home?

The answer is: That depends. “Puerto Backyardo” is where some of my colleagues are heading for next holidays. We need to keep our sense of humor.
During this shutdown, we all have had some time to sort through our backyards, garage, attic, basement, or storage locker. You can find new exciting projects to entertain and amuse you. Think of it as exploring what’s right in front of you. This is a good time to clear the space for future imagination and delight. While we stay home, we can still ride that bicycle and explore new territory, even if it’s imaginary.

Destinations: Deciding which places to visit

These are other things that I consider as I plan a trip
Bargain vs Spending.
Easy directions, expense, variety, goals,
Offbeat
Extreme
Diving
Photography
Standing invitations

Do you have travel awards pending? Review deals on the main travel websites like Skyscanner, Google Flights, Expedia and Booking. Lastly, get your friends together and decide on a trip. That’s what we did for a trip to Lake Powell, on a houseboat. You can take memories like this for a lifetime.
