Feeling a bit stir crazy?
With all of the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders and travel bans instated since March 2020, you’re certainly not alone. And as travel starts to open back up, you’re likely itching to get back out there and travel again.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this article:
The most important thing when it comes to travel is staying safe and healthy. Here are tips to do just that.
Currently, the CDC recommends that you are fully vaccinated before you travel, especially internationally. If you are not fully vaccinated, here are the CDC recommendations (though these are good to keep in mind even if you are vaccinated):
1 Take the required COVID tests
Depending on where you’re traveling to or from, you may need to take a COVID test prior to departure or upon your return. Make sure you follow these guidelines so that you don’t experience any travel delays or complications.
2 Wear a mask
While traveling on planes, buses, trains, or other forms of public transportation, be sure to wear a mask that covers both your nose and mouth. It’s also often either recommended or required when you’re in an enclosed space.
3 Self-monitor and if necessary, self-isolate.
During and after your travels, be sure to self-monitor yourself for any symptoms. If you suspect you’re developing symptoms, be sure to self-isolate.
4 Wash your hands often
Keep your hands clean and away from your face. Wash your hands often and/or use hand sanitizer. The CDC recommendation is to use sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
5 Avoid crowds
When traveling, and as a general rule of thumb, avoid crowds and aim to stay 6 feet/2 meters away from anyone who is not a part of your group or traveling party.
6 Learn the words you need to discuss health and safety measures in the language spoken in your travel destination
With Drops, you can learn how to discuss things like social distancing, hand sanitizer and other important health vocabulary in another language to stay safe while you’re abroad.
7 Consider getting travel insurance
Given the constant changes and regulations being put into place, you may want to consider getting travel insurance. That way, if you have to make a last-minute cancellation or change your itinerary, you can do so without losing money on flights, cruises, train tickets, or pre-paid lodgings.

"Love my fun language learning and practice with daily Drops sessions, and monthly Challenges to participate in, and quiz mode to test contextual learning - brilliant! So much thought, consideration and inclusivity has gone into the design and function of this app, I can't praise it highly enough."
"Great little learning app! I've learned at least 5-10 new words in Spanish in my first 5 minutes. Easy to pick up and thorough."
"Great language learning app! It helps you get daily words done in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend using drops to learn whatever language you want to learn."
"What an amazing app! I’ve tried several apps for language learning and I cannot recommend Drops enough. I don’t know how a short Drops session can teach me as much as 1 hour+ of focused use of other apps, it’s like magic."
"Amazing language learning tool. Excellent app for increasing vocabulary in your foreign language of choice. Useful for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. The repetition of the words makes them much easier to remember, and without the hassle of making your own flash cards. I have used Drops for two years now and have seen great results."
"Very engaging way of learning Yoruba in a stimulating way. Will be using to learn myself and to teach my child!"
"Less than a week in but using this alone with the popular one babbel working on German. When using just one app I got bored, babbel is not as fun. So using both at once actually let's my adhd do its thing but I still focused since I can switch easily between both apps and work in different areas. Also I like the quick little sessions makes me feel like I actually did something."
"So engaging. I speak Spanish well, but often forget words in conversation that I know I should know. This game is fun and quickly brings back vocabulary I may have put in the back of my brain after not using it for awhile. Case in point: I spent 11 years in construction, then went back to teaching in English and/or Spanish depending on the teacher/student"
