Countries Open to Vaccinated Travelers✈️ 🌎

Countries Open to Vaccinated Travelers✈️ 🌎 💉👍 🌟SAVE & SHARE WITH A FRIEND📲 With so many people starting to be vaccinated, it is no surprise that countries are starting to give travel benefits back to those who have been vaccinated! That's one of the main reasons I got the vaccine! For Americans, there is still a COVID Testing requirement for getting back into the US... BUT hopefully, those restrictions will also lax in the coming weeks with all the vaccinations! Here's a full list of places already benefiting vaccinated travelers👇 North America 🗺 : Belize, Guatemala, Hawaii (USA), Open without Vaccine & No Entry Restrictions (Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic) South America ✈️ : Ecuador, Galapagos Europe 🚊 : Croatia, Estonia, Georgia, Iceland, Montenegro, Poland, Slovenia, Cyprus (certain countries apply to start May 1), Lithuania, Romania, Greece (starting May 14th), Malta (certain countries apply), Portugal (certain countries apply) Asia 🛕: Georgia, Lebanon, Thailand Africa 🌍 : Seychelles, Mauritius, Madeira (certain countries apply) Talk of Coming 🔜 : Israel, France, Singapore, Spain Which countries are you most interested to visit❓Have you gotten your vaccine❓Are these travel benefits encouraging you to get vaccines⁉️ Disclaimer: Information is constantly changing, so please do all your own research on the countries government website and your countries embassy's website! That's the best place to see the most updated info on individual countries! 🥳 Happy Wednesday‼️ •

COVID VACCINE: WHY, HOW, WHERE, REACTION 💉👇

COVID VACCINE: WHY, HOW, WHERE, REACTION 💉👇 SHARE WITH A FRIEND📲 WHY:
The more people get the vaccine, the more travel reactions with lax! When they do lax, having the vaccine will enable me to be privy to those benefits at some point! I see it like... I can be part of that solution of moving forward! If we all sit back and wait, we’ll that’s the thing... we’ll just be waiting longer and longer to travel ‘normally’ again. Also, I want to be able see my grandparents! I don’t want to waste any precious time with them! They are now vaccinated as well and I cannot wait to spend Easter with them! HOW:
In the US, the vaccine is administered by State. Currently, Georgia eligibility is open for everyone 16 years of age and older for the COVID vaccine. I got my vaccine on March 22nd when all adults over 55 or with other medical conditions (I qualified under having a BMI over 25% along with 70% of Georgians)! Google “How to get a vaccine in Georgia” or similar to find your local government website with instructions! WHERE:
Delta Air Lines has a flight museum turned Vaccination Center! Delta partnered with the State of Georgia to become the State’s largest vaccination center furthering Delta’s support for accelerating Georgia’s vaccination efforts and building on our long-standing commitment to protect the health of customers and employees. REACTION:
I got my vaccine around 2pm in the afternoon!! I felt completely fine to bedtime! I even did Orangetheory (row, run, weightlift) soon after that at 4:30pm! Through the night, I was completely restless, feeling hot/cold at the same time and running a fever! I had a headache all the next day but took pain reliever to help that subside! I skipped Orangetheory that next day and decided to call it an early night at 9pm for bed since I hadn’t slept well or felt well all day! That next day, so two days after my vaccine, I was feeling back to myself and SUPER happy about my decision! Getting the vaccine is definitely a personal choice but I wanted to share my experience in hopes that it would help you make a decision 🤩 Happy Monday ✈️❤️

Ultimate Mexico Adventure List 🇲🇽👇 (SAVE

Ultimate Mexico Adventure List 🇲🇽👇
(SAVE FOR LATER 📲) This list is for the East Coast / Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico 🎊. These are amazing activities to spice up your trip to Mexico if you are traveling to Cozumel, Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or anywhere on the Riveria Maya! 🏖 🤿 Snorkel at places like the Underwater Museum / MUSA, Punta Sur, Chankanaab National Park, La Paz, Isla Espiritu Santo, Cabo Pulmo National Park, and Huatulco!
🦈 Swim with the WILD whale sharks at Isla Holbox! An adult whale shark can reach 12 m long and can weigh up to 20 tons, making them the largest known fish.
🛕See a Wonder Of the World - Chichén Itzá in Yucatán. There are many other ruins all over Mexico but this one is extra special!
🐢 Swim with wild turtles at Akumal! You used to be able to bring your own snorkel gear and go for free but during COVID, they would only allow private/purchased tours!
💦 Cenote, Cenote, Cenote!! Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is famous for its amazing cenotes, natural pools formed in limestone caves. Check out Cenote Calavera, Gran Cenote, Cenote Dos Ojos, Cenote Escondido, and Cenote Azul near Tulum!
🛍 Shop the local market! We stopped at a little one on the drive to Yucatán but Mercado 28 in Cancun is a huge one with over 600 vendors! Many items are handcrafted and unique, so they make great travel gifts.
⛵️ One of my fav things to do at any beach destination is a sunset sail on a catamaran! Make sure to get one that includes an open bar! I liked to check TripAdvisor for the best customer reviews before booking!
🐠 Diving in Cancun!! It is located close to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest reef in the world. Home to dolphins, many kinds of tropical fish, eels, lobsters, nurse sharks, and majestic eagle rays. NOW, after you have done all of that, wind down with some local Mezcal and a good massage 💆‍♀️ on the beach. Jona and I paid $30 each for a 1-hour massage on the beach! 💰😏 They approached us at our hotel and it was amazing! What’s on your Mexico Bucket List⁉️ SHARE with a friend you want to take to Mexico and SAVE for later‼️

Quit my Master of Science in Analytics to TRAVEL M

Quit my Master of Science in Analytics to TRAVEL MORE 🥳🤞 I just remember coming home from work will my shoulders heavy knowing all I had in front of me was my homework 📚 . I knew I had to study all weekend long 🏡 if I wanted to get an A on my test Monday. I just felt SO empty😓 knowing I COULD be spending my weekends traveling 🗺 and adventuring with my hubby 🙋🏻‍♂️!! At the time, we were newly married 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 and we were traveling A LOT ✈️ prior to classes! I LOVED our life and suddenly I just felt just so NOT excited 😤... I knew it was school but here are some lies I told myself: 😳 If you are going to get a master's, now is the best time.
🤯 People will think you are smarter with this degree from this institution!
😰 You already spent so much $$ that it would just be a waste if you didn't finish!
😩 People really respect this institution so you will be more respected.
😕 I know you don't like it but you can make it through just for the sake of having it.
😤 I know your business leaders and mentors think it's a great idea so obviously, you need to do it.
😞 It's only a couple of years of your life!
🧐 So many other people do it, so it’s not that difficult.
😓 My family and mentors would be SO proud of me! I'm sure so many of you have experienced something similar and pressure to follow a norm of 'what's good for you'!!! 🤷🏼‍♀️ I just had to look myself in the mirror and realize that 2 years of not being happy WASN"T worth it ❌❌❌❌. What other people think is good ISN'T always the best for me 😛. So I just QUIT and I can't tell you the INSTANT relief 🎊 I felt over my entire body! 💪 !! I instantly started planning future trips and I was back to life again!! 🧳 I encourage you to follow YOUR passion & dreams and not someone else's idea of what you should be doing! 💁🏼‍♀️ Being miserable ISN'T worth it!!! 💯 Happy Friday‼️🍻 Think about YOUR dream this weekend and get after it‼️It’s NEVER too late‼️

Disclaimer: What’s right for me isn’t what’s right for you. School is not a bad thing (I have a degree myself 😁)! You choose your path and this post is only to encourage you to do more of what makes YOU happy!

How do you travel sooo much?! 🤯👇 My MOST DM

How do you travel sooo much?! 🤯👇 My MOST DM’d question by far!!!! Time to reveal ALL my secrets 😛😛 Jk jk no secrets! Just tips, tricks, planning and life circumstances!! 👏 My husband and I both have STEM degrees and work 9-5 in engineering👷🏻 and IT 👩🏼‍💻fields! #stability 🤣 I work for a major US airline ✈️ so we definitely get a boost in the fight benefits department!! We also live in a major hub so there are a lot of non-stop flight options all over the world! All those first class seats can’t breaking our bank 🏦 Jona travels a lot for work so he builds up extra hotel 🏨 , airlines and rental car points 🚗 ! We get to redeem those points for personal because it’s all under his name and account! We use credit cards 💳 that are specifically designed for benefiting travelers 🧳 ! We look for the BIG sign up bonuses and we switch off between signing up over years so we continuously get the sign on bonuses! 💰 We autopay out statement balance so we never get behind! Be careful and know your limits! ✅ Jonas family lives in Belgium 🇧🇪 so many times we are staying with them and exploring close by! Lots of trips we are staying at friends 👯‍♀️ places! We are always checking Airbnb, our credit cards for deals, splitting larger places with family/friends, Costco travel deals! We do not ball out on hotels! And we look for DEALZ!! 💰 We are typically taking weekend trips but I’m uploading my content all week while I’m working my 9-5 so I can continuously show travel content!! 🌎 I am also posting pictures from tips sometimes 5+ years ago so it’s content from my whole life!! So I’m really not traveling that much! 😛 On top of all this, now that I run my social media Great Travel Affair 🗺 , I am getting different kinds of travel perks like hotel, excursions experiences, etc as collocations! 🎊 Does that answer the questions⁉️ I have make posts on each of these topics more in depth 💁🏼‍♀️
