➡️ How can I travel during Covid? ⬅️⁠
⁠
We've been getting this question a lot, so we've rounded up the resources so that you can decide when and where you'll decide to travel next! TL;DR: traveling during Covid isn't impossible—it just requires a little extra planning. ⁠
⁠
🤔 Is it okay to travel right now? ⁠
While there is still risk wherever you go, airports and airlines are taking precautions and doing what they can to make people more comfortable with traveling . Honestly, it’s a personal decision and it comes down to how you feel, where you’re going and if you’re willing to quarantine upon arrival/return (if needed). ⁠
⁠
🎟️ Can I book a plane ticket for the future? ⁠
Yes! Since many tickets are pretty cheap right now, it's a great time to get a good deal. Just make sure you check the airline's policies so you understand what the change and cancellation policies are in case you need to adjust your travel plans later. ⁠
⁠
✈️ What's it like to fly right now? Is it safe? ⁠
While we can’t tell you whether you should or shouldn’t travel right now, we asked our travelers who have flown recently to share their experiences so you can decide for yourself! Check our stories for the link. ⁠
⁠
🗺️ Where can I travel right now? ⁠
While some international countries still have closed borders, there are places you can travel: anywhere in the US, many places in the Caribbean and a few other places are welcoming travelers, with some precautions. Check the link in our bio for the list! ⁠

Traveling as a college student can be super exciting, but it can also present a lot of challenges! We've got some tips for you to plan easier trips and travel more ✈️⁠
⁠
📆 Flexibility and free time are your friends. This is one of the rare periods of your life where you will have a lot of control over your schedule. How you schedule your classes, work schedule and summer plans can all help you make more room in your schedule for traveling.⁠
⁠
🤓 Get student discounts. Bring your student ID everywhere: it’ll score you discounts on everything from train tickets to museum passes around the world. ⁠
⁠
🏡 Give hostels a chance! They’re not as common in the US so they may feel unfamiliar or weird or straight-up sketchy, but in many places, they can be awesome and a great way to save money.⁠
⁠
✈️ Red eye flights are your friend. Red-eyes will save you money (they’re usually a lot cheaper) and time, since you’ll be traveling when you’d usually just be sleeping anyways. And more money again, since you won’t have to pay for a hotel room when you spend the night on a plane. ⁠
⁠
📱 Double-check on your phone. If you’re traveling internationally, your regular phone plan may not work. International data and roaming charges can add up SUPER fast, so make sure you call your phone company and see what options they have for travels abroad. ⁠
