TRAVELING EUROPE IN 2021: Our TOP 5 TIPS, COSTS AND EXPERIENCE (Covid travel review) | VLOG #10
271
Published 2021-10-19
In our last vlog we tell you our story of how we got home back to the UK - you can find that video here: • WE TRAVEL BACK TO THE UK DURING COVID...
We’re finally home! And we want to educate you on how to travel during 2021 - what you should expect, how much you need to budget for extra costs and detail some potentially unfamiliar travel experiences. Even though travel rules change quickly, and have changed since we returned, we believe these tips are still relevant and useful!
Here are our top 5 tips!
1. Research country entry requirements (before you book and a week in advance)
2. Plan your timings (test turn around times differ - plan to get your results back in time & airport queues are much longer than normal)
3. Shop around for tests (you can always find a better deal than first few companies suggested by google!)
4. If possible get vaccinated (it’s responsible, cheaper and less hassle)
5. Don’t be afraid to travel! (with a little extra planning and budgeting travel is still possible and awesome!)

Hey! It’s Emily from Australia, and Tom from the UK. Welcome to our channel! Ever since Tom fell victim to Emily’s infectious smile in a dorm room in Chile in January 2020, the two of us have been an inseparable travel pair. Both being avid travellers we now have a combined total of 48 counties over 6 continents under our belts. After being separated for 8 months and then locked down in the UK for another 6, we’re finally back on the road again navigating international travel during the post COVID era... 🤙🏼

I agree with tip #5-just get out there and travel. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks a lot for the great video and great tips! I'm very happy I won't be needing those PCR tests for a while anymore but I will keep in mind to check properly beforehand! (I think I've had like 12+ because I was in a long distance relationship during Covid) I also can't wait to see some more of the UK! Keep up the good work! 💪

Wow! That's a lot of tests! But we agree it's worth the hassle!
