The discomforts of social distancing and self-isolation during the quarantine days could be enough to make one lose his sanity. Add in the fact that the ability to travel and enjoy the wonderful outdoors have been temporarily suspended not just in Australia but also in many countries all over the world due to the coronavirus outbreak. Although some Australian experts are doubtful whether summer travel will still be possible after the pandemic, planning your first post-pandemic holiday would still be a great idea. Here are some wonderful tips for that perfect holiday when quarantine days are over:
Go on a Road Trip
The joy of a road trip is simply unparalleled. You have all the freedom to choose between driving through lonely dirt roads or going to packed freeways. But, whatever road you choose, chances are high that the journey will end up to be a fulfilling and delightful one and more so if your road trip takes place somewhere in Australia. It is not necessary that you choose the Highway One, which is every road trip fan’s ultimate dream. Your Australia motorhome holidays can be spent anywhere as the country does not have a shortage of natural scenic spots, stunning coastlines, and rainforests that will always leave every traveler in awe of admiration. Indeed, to say that going on a motorhome holiday after the quarantine is a great idea would be an understatement.
Opt for Glamping
If the idea of a road trip doesn’t seem to excite you, then perhaps the thought of glamping will certainly pique that adventurous side of you. Imagine yourself arriving in a destination where the tent and everything have been set up for you, glamorously. You will be surrounded by bushland yet get the chance to live in a tent where wi-fi connectivity and an air-conditioned room are yours to make your holiday a truly exciting experience.
Enjoy Hiking
Being locked down and told to stay indoors for more than a month is such agony and something that’s too difficult to endure for an individual who loves the outdoors. If you’re in Australia consider yourself lucky because the country boasts of open plains, mountain ridges, and rainforests that never fail to quench every hiker’s thirst for adventure. So, start pulling in your boots and head to the hiking destination of your choice. From the Larapinta Trail, Heysen Trail, or The Kosciuszko Walk, you’ll never run out of the best hiking destinations in Australia.
Spend Time Camping
If the idea of glamping seems too costly for you, better prepare your own tent and all your camping essentials. Know that there are too many great camping sites in Australia. If you want to camp on the seafront, in the forest or in another city, you certainly can. Whether you choose to camp with the famous Caravans, with your own RV or just your four-wheel drive car, it’s all up to you. Spending a night in the camping site having dinner around a bonfire with your friends or loved ones is an experience full of wonderful memories enough to overcome the lonely days of the quarantine period.
Planning a holiday is a good way to give yourself something positive to look forward to amidst the coronavirus pandemic. But, don’t forget the possible caveats. You could end up feeling frustrated if you immediately finalize your plans. So, be flexible with your plans and always prepare yourself for the unexpected.
