As an avid traveler, I have put a lot of thought into how the coronavirus itself will change the way that we choose to travel, but what happens when our passports no longer allow us to travel … even with those safety precautions in place?
As we ease our way into what is now being referred to as “the new normal” it is natural for travel addicts like us to think ahead & wonder what the new normal will look like in the landscape of travel & tourism.
I know as much as anyone that it can be difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

When you think of booking your next vacation, what are the things that you budget for immediately? Obviously flights & hotels are at the top of your list, perhaps ground transportation comes to mind & of course money for food/drinks. But what other expenses are out there that you are overlooking? Additional travel expenses can add up quickly & can easily put a damper on your trip if you are not prepared for them. Here are TL Travel's 5 most commonly overlooked travel expenses as compiled by you; our TL Travelers.
Traveling the world is an amazing thing! There is no better feeling (in my opinion) than stepping out of the airport in a brand new destination & being welcomed by new sights & sounds. More often though, I find myself hopping into business mode; find a taxi, barter a price, locate the hotel, where should I eat? etc., & before I know it that feeling is gone. Group travel makes all of these things easy & allows you to make the most of each moment without having to worry about the logistics of where to go next, how to get there & how not to get ripped off. If you are a traveler (or soon-to-be traveler) who has never experienced travel as a group, here are a few reasons why you should try it out!
