angel tell us where have you been recently and share a couple of tips that you have for people
who are curious about traveling now well my most recent trips have taken me to costa rica and to
turkey and i think my first tip would be uh preparation and research is absolutely key at
this time because for example you know costa rica the entrance requirement is to fill out a health
declaration and then purchase extra insurance which typically isn't covered by your credit card
company and then uh i think the second main thing really is to be flexible because things change all
the time for example when i went to turkey last year you didn't need a covet test to enter the
country to get in but now things have changed and you do need a covet test to get into the country
so things can change pretty rapidly during this time so it's always really good to have a plan
b currently you need a cova test to re-enter the united states all passengers need that
well what happens if for some reason you fail your covet test and you do prove to be coveted positive
that may happen so you always have to have a plan b and i think my third tip would be
to always have a little bit of extra money and that travel during this time may cost you a
little bit more yeah you may get a great hotel deal or a great flight deal during this time
but i think those savings are really offset by the extra cost you may have in insurances
in cova test and maybe just generally overall tipping a little bit extra to make up for
the devastating economic effects of the pandemic yes such fire tips i'm curious because you've most
recently been in costa rica and obviously just an opinion i'm curious would you recommend it right
now and why i absolutely would recommend going to costa rica because it appears from being on the
ground that they do have covid under control and there are all sorts of um procedures and protocols
in place to keep not only the local population safe but also traveler safe and all of the data
from the cdc and the world health organization kind of proves that their coven numbers are pretty
minimal also it's absolutely empty and it's one of the most popular tourist destinations in the
region and you can have you know beautiful beaches all to yourself discover animals and just as a
destination as a whole i think it really presents a lot to offer for travelers so whether you like
adventure outdoor pursuits great beaches just a really good time you know that's really available
in costa rica so there's definitely a lot of opportunity to social distance when you're in the
country as well yes and i recommend if you want to see some of those empty beaches go to angel's
instagram and check it out so you've provided some really awesome tips if people want to learn more
