In the following article, we take a look at what it will be like to travel in 2023. We'll see new technologies that are making the world more accessible, and how those innovations have been made possible by one simple human quality: our desire for adventure.

Covid Basics

Covid-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified in 2019. It is similar to other coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, but it is more contagious and can cause more severe illness. As of June 2020, there are over 7 million confirmed cases of Covid-19 worldwide, with over 400,000 deaths.

Social Security Numbers

When it comes to travel, one of the most important things to know is how to keep your personal information safe. That's why it's important to know what to do with your social security number when you're planning a trip.

Here are a few tips for keeping your social security number safe when you're traveling:

  •  Don't carry your social security card with you. This is one of the most important things you can do to keep your social security number safe. If you lose your card or it's stolen, someone could use your social security number to steal your identity.
  • Make sure you're using a secure internet connection when you're entering your social security number online. When you're booking travel or accessing online accounts, make sure you're using a secure Wi-Fi connection or a VPN so that your information is encrypted and secure.

Money

Assuming you have the means to do so, traveling the world can be one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll ever have. It broadens your horizons, exposes you to new cultures, and allows you to see natural beauty that you may never have known existed.

But for many people, the thought of spend to money. How will you afford it? What if something goes wrong?

  • -Start saving as soon as possible: The sooner you start saving for your trip, the better. Try setting aside a fixed amount each month – even if it’s just $50 – and putting it into a dedicated savings account. Once you have a solid chunk of change saved up, you’ll feel more confident about taking the plunge and traveling for an extended period of time.
  • Budget, budget, budget: Once you know where you want to go and how long you want to stay there, start researching estimated costs for things like accommodation, food, transportation, and activities. Add up all of these costs and then add on an extra 20-30% for unexpected expenses. This will give you a realistic idea of how much money you need to


Visa Requirements

In order to travel the world, you will need a valid passport and a visa for each country you plan to visit. Visas can be obtained through the embassy or consulate of the country you wish to visit.

When applying for a visa, you will need to submit your passport, photographs, application form, and sometimes additional documents such as proof of financial means or an invitation letter from someone in the country you are visiting. The requirements vary by country, so it is important to check with the embassy or consulate before applying for your visa.

If you are planning on traveling to multiple countries, it is recommended that you apply for a multiple-entry visa which will allow you to enter and exit each country multiple times during the validity period of the visa.

Clothing and Footwear

Assuming you have the basic necessities like a passport and travel insurance, there are really only a few other things you need in order to travel the world:

1. Clothing and Footwear - Obviously, you'll need to pack some clothes! But the great thing about travelling is that you can usually get by with less than you think. A couple of weeks before your trip, make a list of all the places you plan to go and what activities you'll be doing. Then, start packing accordingly. Remember to pack for all weather conditions and to layer your clothing so that you can easily adjust to temperature changes. And don't forget comfortable walking shoes - they'll come in handy whether you're exploring a new city or hiking through the mountains.

2. A Good Backpack - This is probably the most important item on this list (after your passport, of course). A good backpack will make your life so much easier as you travel from place to place. Look for one that's comfortable to wear, has plenty of compartments and pockets for organizing your things, and is made from durable material that will withstand a lot of wear and tear.

3. A Few Basic Toiletries - Again, less is more when it comes to travelling light. Just pack the essentials like shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, etc. You can usually find these items at your destination if you happen to run out.

4. Your Phone and Charger - These days

Packing Strategies

There are a few packing strategies that I swear by when traveling the world. The first is to pack light. You really don’t need that many clothes when you’re on the road. A couple of weeks’ worth of underwear, socks, shirts, and pants should be more than enough. If you’re worried about doing laundry while you travel, bring along a couple of mesh bags to wash your clothes in.

The second packing strategy is to roll your clothes instead of folding them. This will save a ton of space in your suitcase or backpack. And, it will prevent your clothes from wrinkling too much.

The third packing strategy is to use packing cubes. They’re awesome for organizing your clothes and keeping everything tidy in your suitcase or backpack. Plus, they make it easy to find what you’re looking for without having to dig through everything.

If you follow these packing strategies, you’ll be able to travel the world with just a carry-on sized suitcase or backpack. Trust me, it’s possible!

Travel Apps: Local Guides, TripAdvisor, HOPPING, Booking.com etc.

If you're looking for local guides, the best things to do in each city, and reviews of hotels and restaurants, then you need to check out these travel apps! From well-known sites like TripAdvisor and Booking.com, to more specialized options like HOPPING (for museum lovers), there's an app for everyone.

Local Guides: Google Maps and City mapper

Google Maps is a must-have for any traveler, whether you're looking for directions or just want to explore your surroundings. The app also offers a "local guides" feature, where users can share their tips and recommendations for the best places to eat, drink, shop, and more. If you're looking for a more comprehensive guide to city life, then download City mapper. This app has everything from real-time public transit information to bike sharing availability and even walking routes. Whether you're visiting a new city or just trying to get around your own hometown.

TripAdvisor and Yelp

When it comes time to book a hotel or find a restaurant in your destination city, it's always helpful to consult some trusted review sources. That's where TripAdvisor and Yelp come in handy.
