This Special Episode is about Level
5 Travel, the most challenging.
Lesson learned getting a tow and
the Tip is to Stay informed by tuning in to local news early
I’m trying to flatten the curve in a small
way. I’d like to be traveling every week, going somewhere new and what an adventure
that will be. However, I’ve been patient and waiting until the bans are lifted
and will have lots of travel ahead.
Today’s Independent Destination Travel
Independent Spectrum Level 5 Difficult
This is travel to the countries that I’ve
been to that would be considered Level 5 include these: Thailand, Taiwan,
China, Korea, and Chile.
This is the peak level, or most difficult
travel of all. Many of the listeners today will not make this kind of a trip,
but it’s always a challenge to learn what’s available and dream about it.
I’ve been to different continents, all but Antarctica,
and these Level 5 Difficult countries are not recommended for most US citizens
to travel, for example regions of Asia or Africa, and can be impossible to visit
some countries like North Korea. Level 5 difficult travel is about getting out
and having unique experiences in nature, with countries you may not know how to
spell, and to see people who are very different than you are.
If you are heading on a journey that is Level
5, I want you to be prepared for anything, including losing your passport, luggage,
and cash. You want to have copies of everything important in a safe place and a
backup ready for when you need it.
However, you may combine a level 5 with
another level as well.
If you are heading to a country that is on
this list, be sure to get all your documents prepared in advance, including
birth certificate, passport and any vaccinations that are required or may be in
the future. You may need a permit to visit the region, so ask.
In Tibet, only tour groups are allowed, and
all tourism is currently closed during the pandemic. For travel to Mongolia,
you will need a visa and a passport that has more than 6 months until it expires.
Do keep checking the show notes to see any further news on vaccines.

I’ve not been to places that take four days
to get to from the USA, but they exist on our planet. This is level 5 planning
at it’s best. My woman friend San-d is a scuba diver who goes on remote
locations on small islands in the Indian Ocean. This takes time and energy to
plan and to make a success. I would like to hear about your trip. Please share
it with my travel group on Facebook, especially if it is a Level 5 trip.
Today’s lesson learned ----Getting a tow
can be ok
Here’s the situation, I’m age 13, and in a
canoe rowing the same stretch of water for what seems like hours. The current
was too strong, and it was impossible to keep going in the same direction. This
was a Girl Scout camp on Long Island, and it was a three-day canoe trip.
Getting a tow from a nearby speedboat not only helped us move forward, it also
gave us confidence we would finish our trip. In the long run, the lesson was
healthy.
Today’s Travel Advice- stay ahead of local
news
Read a local newspaper, even if it’s online,
on where you’re going next. Here are three reasons to read a local paper
- Learn
if there are any special events happening that you would not want to miss.
- In
advance, find out if there is a crowd expected or a traffic alert that
could prevent you from your activity.
- Be
able to have a conversation with a local on things that are going on in
the locale.
