Should You Revenge Travel?

Planning to revenge travel? A lot of us made travel plans in 2020 and for the first few months, some of us traveled to various places. However, the coronavirus turned those plans into pipe dreams.

Now, though, the world is starting to open up again and after being stuck at home for so long, a lot of constant travelers are planning something called ‘Revenge Travel’.

What Is Revenge Travel?

‘Revenge Travel’ simply refers to the urge to do a lot of traveling after being unable to do so for a while. Basically, you make up for all the lost moments and the possible connections that you could have made.

Once the Coronavirus is controlled, and there will be a low level of risk when flying, you can bet that a lot of guys will pack their bags and embark on their travels.

Should You Do It?
But the question is, should you also revenge travel? Our answer is… wait.

While we all wish we could go back to our daily lives as soon as possible, it might not happen for a while. So, if you’re planning to visit various countries and continents on your epic trip, it might not be possible for a while.

After all, a lot of countries are still not allowing visitors and even for those that do, a significant percentage of them are enforcing mandatory two-week quarantines.

So, if you’re planning to travel for a month, you might spend half of it in lockdown and secondly, because of how tight finances currently are for a lot of us, you might not even be able to afford to go everywhere you want.

That said, if you’re still determined to travel, we have listed a few places in and around the US you might visit to get that travel bug out of your system.

Culebra, Puerto Rico

If you’re searching for a tropical destination with sun, sand, and spectacular views, you don’t have to much further than Puerto Rico to get your fix.

Culebra is barely 20 miles away from Puerto Rico’s main island, and it’s still criminally underseen by tourists. This makes it perfect for a cautious traveler.

The island does not have a thriving nightlife, but that’s okay. Instead, you can see the island’s bioluminescent organisms light up the coastal waters at night.

You can also check out the giant Culebra anole or the island’s leatherback turtles. The 7-mile long island is perfect if you just want a tropical island to unwind and get your mind away from your troubles.

Aleutian Islands, Alaska

If you’re not looking for a place with sunshine or beaches, you might have a lot of fun at the Aleutian Islands in Alaska.

These islands are among the most remote places in Alaska, meaning you won’t be rubbing shoulders with other tourists. They are also perfect for exploring nature.

Despite the active volcanoes, stormy seas, an unforgiving climate, the islands are full of wildlife. In fact, you will probably see more wildlife than actual humans, which is great if you want to stay COVID-free.

The islands have everything from whales to seals, birds, sea lions, and rarely-seen animals.

Joshua Tree National Park, California

This national park is known for its bizarre plants which don’t just look like they come from another continent; it’s like they are from another world.

There are weird-shaped plants, like the Joshua Tree, and massive boulders that are hundreds of feet tall. Visiting this national park is like stepping into a sci-fi movie set.

We recommend this park if you like taking unique photos, enjoy hiking, or are into rock climbing. If you like all three, then you’d better start packing! The nearby village is also a nice, cozy place with lots of hipsters, artists, and nature lovers.

Kauai, Hawaii

Seriously, who doesn’t love Hawaii? It’s one of the most scenic destinations, and any time you spend there is bound to be unforgettable.

That said, most guys have only visited the popular parts of Hawaii. And that’s why we are recommending Kauai.

This is the least-developed Hawaiian island, yet it’s easily the most eye-grabbing. It has a lush, mountainous landscape, and its shores are so breathtaking that they’ve been the locale for films like Jurassic Park and King Kong.

It’s also home to soaring cliffs, gorgeous waterfalls, deep canyons, and more. Kauai is one of the few places that is gorgeous almost in its entirety.
