In 2020, and even into 2021, so many travel plans were cancelled or had to be postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I vividly recall the hesitation I felt after a long period of isolation, especially the first time I opened my front door to venture out into the empty streets of London. Leading up to that day I prepared myself – I made sure to have a proper face mask, gloves on my hands, and a change of shoes at the door that I could slip into upon my return. Finally, when outdoors, if I was approaching someone on the street (and that was very rare), we both kept a wide distance between each other as we passed one another. I felt both the joy of being outside as well as great apprehension.
