12 Travel Stories from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Mexico and the Caribbean from 2020 to Inspire 2021
The 2020 coronavirus pandemic overturned all travel plans. In a year that was a disaster for so many, a few travelers found safe ways to maintain sanity and mental health. Read on to see how avid travelers in Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and the Caribbean found a way to travel and explore the great outdoors.
Travels in Mexico and the Caribbean in 2020
We all remember the horror stories in the news – of cruise ships getting stranded, parked and in waiting around the world. We heard of the novel coronavirus spreading in some cruise ships, despite the stringent sanitation protocols. Despite the all the precautions cruise ships were getting infected. The story was unfolding on the world. Within weeks cruise ships around the world were grounded and remained grounded for the rest of the year.
Ever wondered what the cruise ship workers did? Read about one cruise ship worker and how she traveled, volunteered and kept her spirits high?
Where would an American cruise ship worker go in 2020? Mexico of course!
By Michelle Endo from San Francisco
Where were you planning to travel in 2020?
I had so many travel plans for 2020! I was supposed to take a road trip throughout New Zealand, visit a friend in Australia, and also spend some time traveling across Europe.
Where did you travel in the year of the pandemic?
As a cruise ship worker who hasn’t been able to work at sea during the pandemic, 2020 was obviously challenging. However, the one silver lining I found was that for the first time, all of my ship friends and I were on land at the same time.
Varying ship contract schedules usually makes meeting up with other crew members nearly impossible to coordinate.
Fortunately, one of the few places open for U.S. citizens to travel to in October was also where many of my seafarer friends happen to live— Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
Since I work online as a freelance writer at the moment, I decided that this was a good chance to spend time with my second family while keeping expenses down and making the most out of the situation.
I had no set plans for the length of my trip, so I purchased a one-way ticket to ensure that I wasn’t stuck with a non-refundable flight if there was another wave of lockdown-related flight cancellations.
Mexico doesn’t have any formal COVID regulations for incoming flights, but I still quarantined in California for two weeks prior to my trip and again for another two weeks after arriving. I repeated the same process going back to the States, isolating myself before my flight and once again upon returning home in addition to getting tested.
I ended up staying in Mexico for two months. Instead of the usual sightseeing, I volunteered as a dog walker at a local shelter, hung out at the beach, and mainly spent a lot of time with my friends.
What’s your takeaway from 2020’s dramatic turn of events?
While I’m looking forward to the travel industry getting back to business as usual, I’m thankful for the opportunity I normally wouldn’t have to be in the same place at the same time with my nomadic friends.

Some American families spent weeks and even months in Mexico to escape the monotony of home. Work from home and virtual school allowed the families to zoom in from anywhere. As enticing as it might seem, these travels came with their share of legal and corporate challenges.
Travel during the pandemic is challenging, so preparation is key. From eating ahead of your flight to carrying the gadgets for new normal – mask, sanitizer, glasses gloves and shields. Tiffany shares her wisdom from her family’s trip to Mexico.
Family airline travel to Mexico with COVID Precautions
By Tiffany Gildon from St Louis, Missouri
Where were you planning to travel in 2020?
We had 11 trips planned and canceled during 2020. The only international trip we were able to complete was to Mexico.
How did your travel plans materialize in the year of the pandemic and would you share any tips you learned from your family travel?
Travel during 2020 has been difficult for us all. As travel restrictions started to lift, Mommy And Me Travels, took our first family flight from the USA to Mexico. Air travel during a pandemic to another country came with several hurdles we had to navigate and overcome.
Things you need to know when flying on an airplane as a family. Every adult and child over the age of 2 has to wear a mask without a valve. The only time you can have your mask down on the airplane is when you are actively eating or drinking.
I recommend that you and your family eat before getting on the airplane. It is safer for your family and everyone on the plane if you wear the mask the entire time while flying.
A list of COVID safety measure items to make sure you take with you in your carry-on are – mask without a valve, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and your own reusable bottle for water. These things will make sure your family is as safe as possible during your travels.
Getting into another country comes with its own challenges and requirements. Every country has different rules and regulations that are required and change frequently. For example, Mexico requires a health form to be completed and given to the customs agents upon entry. If you fill this out before departing your home, it will make processing through customs more effective and efficient.
We are so happy that we decided to take our Caribbean family vacation to Mexico. Being from the Midwest, we really missed relaxing on the beach and playing in the ocean. On our first full day, the boys were so excited to build sandcastles, swim in the ocean, play in the pool, drink smoothies from our resort swim-up bar, and then venture into downtown Playa del Carmen for dinner.
During our trip downtown, the mall area has a kids slide that goes from the second floor to the first. They still say the best day in Mexico was the day they spent at the beach and then riding the slide at the mall. It is building those family memories that we missed most during our time of not traveling in 2020.
While traveling still comes with its challenges, if you make the choice for your family to travel make sure you are well prepared with the necessary precautions and know what is required to enter your destination country.

Staying on an island is all so very different during COVID. The wonderful landscape calls you, but restrictions do apply!
Island fever in paradise – Stuck in St Kitts under strict lockdown
By Steph & Lewis from St Kitts in the West Indies.
Where is your home base?
Originally from the UK we currently live on St Kitts in the West Indies.
Where were you planning to travel in 2020?
In March we had planned to spend 2 days in Miami before embarking on a 7 days cruise around the Bahamas. Then in April, we were flying to Barbados for 3 nights before going back to the UK to visit family for a week before heading over to Italy for 4 days then returning to St Kitt’s. In December we were also supposed to fly back to the UK to spend 3 weeks visiting family and friends over the holiday period.
How did your travel plans materialize in the year of the pandemic?
Everything was canceled and instead, we stayed on St Kitts, being the smallest country in the western hemisphere is certainly challenging. There were a few times where we had island fever and wanted to leave the island, with only 18 square miles it starts to feel small very quickly.
Luckily the government here were very strict with COVID-19 measures, closing the borders to all international travelers and imposing a very strict lockdown for residents. We were restricted to our homes and garden from the end of March until mid-June, and we could only leave for essential supplies such as groceries and medications.
Essential workers were given permits to be allowed to drive around the island and there were police roadblocks on all major roads to check where you were going. We were allowed designated days to do grocery shopping which resulted in queuing for hours in the hot sun to buy essentials.
COVID-19 protocols were and still are in place, face masks must be worn at all times in public, and hand sanitizer is enforced on entry to any public place, including bars, restaurants, and shops. Once the island was COVID-19 free the lockdown restrictions were lifted, and bars and restaurants could reopen. We could also start going to the beach again and meeting up with friends.
St Kitts reopened its borders to international travelers in October but with a strict quarantine for anyone returning or visiting, before that, the only way to leave the island was with government permission and a private charter flight to a nearby island.
We did visit St Kitts sister island, Nevis, for a 2-night staycation in September which was a welcome break. Nevis has several boutique hotels with limited rooms which makes them very relaxing and peaceful.
St Kitts and Nevis also have no shortage of things to do, so once the lockdown restrictions were lifted, we have taken catamaran trips around the island, hiked in the rainforest and scuba dived with sharks. We have been enjoying exploring the islands and playing tourist in our adopted home.

Australia – Socially Distanced Local Travel
2020 not only re-defined our travel and social norms, but it also changed the way we work. With many offices going remote or virtual, it means we can travel and work from anywhere (as long as it is safe to do so). Tamara made the most of her ‘work from home’ setup by converting her van into her new home and new office!
Building a camper van, exploring Australia, and becoming a van dweller
By Tamara Tee from Melbourne, Australia
Where is your home base?
I’m a British ex-pat of 2.5 years living in Melbourne, Australia.
Where were you planning to travel in 2020?
I was planning to go back home to Yorkshire in the UK for long weekend visits to Scotland and the Lake District. I was also planning to travel to Malaysia and Japan.
How did you travel during the COVID-19 pandemic?
With my travels home to the UK, Malaysia, and Japan being thrown out the window, 2020 had other plans for me, which in hindsight were meant to be!
As a British ex-pat in Melbourne for over 2 years, I’ve been spending most of my weekends exploring the state of Victoria, dreaming of the day I’d be able to buy a mini campervan and work and travel for longer.
Then COVID hit and not only did my job go 100% remote, staying in two lockdowns meant I managed to save enough to actually buy a van, a 2004 Ford Econovan which I converted into a camper from scratch!
Aside from weekend getaways to test what Mave is like to stay in, her maiden voyage was to South Australia – a 10-day road trip through completely new territory. We went along the Yorke Peninsula including to the stunning Innes National Park, the Clare Valley and Barossa for incredible wineries, and to Mount Gambier for the natural wonders.
During my trip, I often noticed people were waving me down as they passed. Confused after the 5th or 6th person, I pulled over thinking there was something wrong with my vehicle. Only later it dawned on me – they’re waving!
From one van dweller to another, I was officially being acknowledged as part of the van clan, a lifestyle of freedom and (socially distanced) simple living!
Considering international travel is not on the radar for a while and Australia has not only unbelievable variety in landscapes but endless sights to see, it’s no surprise that the demand for campers is through the roof.
2021 is definitely all about exploring what is on our doorstep and luckily, there are few better places in the world for a road trip!

Road trips are one way to travel safely during COVID-19, but fan-favorite day trips are not going anywhere. Day trips allow you to rejuvenate without breaking the bank or crossing any borders. I am sure, many of us, found and learned something new about our localities!
COVID safe day trips from Cairns, Australia
By Holly Connors from Australia
Where were you planning to travel in 2020?
In 2020, we were due to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and had booked a luxurious island hopping trip to Thailand. Thankfully we got the credit for our trip back and were able to convert it into local travel within our home state of Queensland, Australia.
How did you travel during the coronavirus pandemic?
We headed towards Far North Queensland to the beautiful Cairns, situated alongside the Great Barrier Reef. While it was not a new destination for us, we made sure to hire a car this time and explored the area thoroughly this time around.
It was an incredible trip, with snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, island visits and many different day trips from Cairns to surrounding attractions and natural scenery.
We finally had the chance to visit Paronella Park, which is a Spanish inspired castle in the Queensland rainforest. For years, friends and family have raved about this place so it was special to experience for ourselves.
It may not have been a new destination, however, we added as many new experiences into our visit to make it feel like somewhere new!

Traveling during COVID-19, especially in the cities was a challenge for many. In crowded urban centers, restrictions exceeded beyond wearing a mask. Frequent sanitizing, temperature check, and maintaining safe distance while waiting in a queue was the norm in many places. It is nice to see many travelers in Australia took to exploring their backyard as international travel was not possible.
Local travel in Kangaroo Valley in Australia during the pandamic
By Holly Kent from Blue Mountains, Australia
Where were you planning to travel in 2020?
I had a trip planned interstate for a wedding in April in Melbourne, which I was extending into a road trip. The wedding and all my bookings were canceled and Melbourne had a rough trot for a while.
I had been hoping to be in Scotland in August, fortunately, I hadn’t made any bookings yet when things started going pear-shaped with international travel.
I was then looking at Adelaide for December but things were still ‘touch and go’ on interstate travel and borders so I made the decision to stay in my home state.
How did you travel in the year of the pandemic?
In Australia, international travel was ruled out pretty early in the year. Not leaving so much, but getting back would pose a problem. Living in a pretty spectacular tourist area I embraced the opportunity to explore more of my own backyard and looked towards interstate travel instead. I didn’t think I would be comfortable getting on a plane, but I love a good road trip!
I hoped things would improve, but then they got worse, and the rapid change and frequency of border closures made interstate travel a risk also.
So I decided to explore home just a little further afield and booked an Airbnb in the Kangaroo Valley – a place I had always admired on the way to somewhere else but had never stopped. I didn’t notice additional measures implemented in my accommodation, but as with everything else, every restaurant required checking in.
I wouldn’t normally visit a sequence of shops in quick succession at home though, so wandering the country stores became a skin-drying experience with sanitizing hands at every door. At one point I think I sanitized my hands 7 times in 30 minutes as I went from store to store attempting to support the locals with my Christmas shopping.
I also visited some of the Shoalhaven Wineries for a day trip, and not only did they have the same requirements but they have also reduced the flexibility to just stop in. They are now emphasizing bookings in order to partake in wine tastings and manage numbers on site, which may mean missing out if you’re a ‘decide at the moment’ kind of traveler.

Finding a meetup group and snorkeling with fur seals
by Margarita Steinhardt from Sydney, Australia
Where were you planning to travel in 2020?
I travel mostly in search of wildlife watching opportunities. In 2020 I had a big trip planned including Spain, Morocco and Western Sahara to see Andalusian and Saharan wildlife.
What’s your 2020 travel story despite the COVID-19 pandemic?
When Australia closed its international borders and then even its state borders following the spread of the pandemic, I was mortified. What would my life be like without travel and weekend explorations? Stuck in Sydney without a car I was lost. Until I came across a Meetup group that was organizing a few local trips and weekend escapes. I immediately signed up for a 3-day trip to Narooma on NSW South Coast.
To be completely honest, I wasn’t even sure where exactly Narooma was. But that was the best thing about this trip and ultimately about the pandemic – I discovered so many beautiful places and unique experiences right on my doorstep. The kinds of experiences that I would usually travel abroad for.
The key attraction of Narooma trip was the experience of snorkeling with fur seals. I am a poor swimmer and I never dared to go swimming with marine animals even though I mostly travel specifically to see wildlife. It turned out that most of our team were not competent swimmers and somehow it made me feel more comfortable. It still took the skipper a good 10 minutes to convince me that the wetsuit would not let me sink. And once I was in the water with the seals swimming near me, I forgot about everything else. It was exactly this feeling of being accepted into the animals’ world and of interacting with wild animals on their terms that I always seek out in my overseas trips. And if it wasn’t for the pandemic, I would’ve never discovered the joy of swimming with marine mammals or seen this beautiful part of Australia.

New Zealand Travels during Coronavirus Pandemic
COVID-19 has changed our plans for 2020. It is disheartening for those who were looking for long term travel, as everything came to a standstill due to travel restrictions, insurance, and safety reasons. We like how Roxanne and her young family made the most of their travel year, by exploring local gems!
Start of full-time travel from New Zealand: Sold house. Quit jobs. New baby. Travel restricted. What next?
By Roxanne de Bruyn from Auckland, New Zealand
Where were you planning to travel in 2020?
2020 was supposed to be a year of travel for us, starting in China, then continuing on to Europe. It was going to be our first long-term trip since having a baby, and we were excited about showing our little boy the world – and having three summers.
We had sold our house and quit our jobs by the time it became obvious that traveling wouldn’t be an option. Then, very abruptly, New Zealand went into full lockdown and we found ourselves stuck in a house we were due to be moving out of very soon.
How did your travel as new digital nomads and parents pan out during the COVID-19 pandemic?
When our house sale was finally complete, we stayed with family for a few days, until New Zealand’s restrictions were relaxed further and we could travel locally. Then we packed up our little boy and headed on a road trip through the North Island.
Starting in Auckland, we drove to Hamilton, staying overnight in the cute town of Cambridge, before going on to Rotorua. We visited the lakes and forests, and showed our son the hot pools and steam, before continuing to Hawkes Bay. Having the freedom to drive around the country was wonderful.
As things were still looking dire on the house and job front, we decided to head to Queenstown next. We spent over a month there, exploring Central Otago at a slower pace than we had before, and trying new things like paragliding and scenic flights.
Before the year ended, we also visited Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook National park. Seeing these famous sights nearly empty made for beautiful photos and a magical experience, but was heart-breaking at the same time.
What are you plans for future travels?
We’re still hoping to do our long-term trip in the future, but until then we’ll definitely enjoy traveling locally, experiencing different sides of the country, and supporting local tourism operators as much as possible.

We all learned how to make the most of our situation in 2020, from virtual hugs, remote work to making friends with strangers, and getting comfortable with the new normal. Life for new ex-pats and immigrants is difficult during such tiring times.
Finding a way when stuck with strangers in New Zealand
By Cassie Bail from Auckland, New Zealand
Where is your home base?
My home base is currently Auckland, New Zealand, where I will stay until my visa expires. (I left my birth country in the UK in 2018.)
Where were you planning to travel in 2020?
I was hoping to travel to New Zealand with my friends, but unfortunately, nobody else could get in the country and cannot drive!
How did you navigate the year of the pandemic?
I arrived alone in Auckland, New Zealand, 6 days before the border closed. A week after that, I was locked down with strangers and didn’t know anyone in the country. Thankfully, I have been able to make the best of things – I got a full-time job, and have done day trips on weekends (in between the two lockdowns, of course!) with the people I live with.
Exploring the city has been a lot of fun since Auckland has many great sunset spots such as Mt Eden and the Auckland Sky Tower. 2020 has definitely been the year of exploring where we live!
Day trips from the city included the beautiful Hamilton Gardens, doing coastal hikes along the Coromandel Peninsula, and seeking out the best things to do in Mangawhai, one of the lesser-known day trips from Auckland – and my personal favorite!
This weekend, I am going camping with flatmates since it’s summer now. We’ll be packing hand sanitizer, face masks (which are mandatory on public transport), and will make sure we scan in at each place we visit using our Unite Against Covid apps.
Since Auckland is the city most at risk of lockdowns in New Zealand, camping and driving day trips seemed like great ways to travel safely!

Canadian Travels to the Great Outdoors
Alberta is home to the Canadian Rockies. From vast landscapes in Jasper to Banff National Park, this is one place where you can readily stay to explore the mountains and embark on scenic road trips. Here is our 7 day Canadian Rockies itinerary for your future trip inspiration.
Exploring Alberta’s great outdoors and hidden gems
By Rhonda Krause from Alberta, Canada
Where were you planning to travel in 2020?
I was lucky that I did my dream trip to Antarctica and South Georgia in January before the world shut down. I didn’t have any other trips booked for this year.
How did your travel plans materialize in the year of the pandemic?
Since international travel was off-limits this year, I decided it was the perfect time to explore my home province of Alberta and spend more time outdoors.
I did several road trips to national and provincial parks and got to know some areas of Alberta I hadn’t spent much time in before. I even bought a kayak and this new hobby took me to a lot of beautiful lakes I wouldn’t have spent time at otherwise. Kayaking was a great activity during the pandemic because I could be distanced from others but still exercise and enjoy nature in a safe way. Plus, there’s nothing more relaxing than floating in the sun on a quiet lake!
I also did a lot of hiking this year and decided to choose some lesser-known trails in Banff and Jasper instead of the really popular hikes. It was fun to discover some hidden gems in parks that I visit frequently.
Some other ways I tried to stay safe and physically distanced during my local road trips was to venture out on weekdays instead of the weekends (to avoid the crowds), do day trips as much as possible, and when I did spend the night I’d order room service or bring my own food instead of eating out.

So many travelers from Canada, escape the cold during winter months to warmer destinations. With very few options domestically, they usually fly to the Caribbean, down South, or somewhere in Asia. But 2020 was completely different!
British Columbia has one of the warmest climates in the country (yes there is plenty of rain), but Okanagan Valley and Vancouver Island invite those who are looking for warmth. The Canadian Rockies were the perfect getaway for the locals.
(Note that since late November 2020, travel restrictions are placed in the Fraser Valley and certain parts of British Columbia.)
Slow travel through Western Canada during COVID-19
By Dean & Laynni Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Would you say your home base is Saskatchewan? Are you usually full-time travelers?
We live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and spend about half our time there. The rest of the time we travel, mainly during our nasty prairie winters.
Where were you planning to travel in 2020?
The first pandemic lockdowns we faced came while hiking the spectacular Rota Vicentina in Portugal, quickly putting an end to our extensive travel plans for Spain and Morocco. After carefully weighing our options, we chose to wait out the worst of the chaos in the Algarve before spending a relatively unrestricted summer at home in Canada (there were very few COVID-19 cases in Saskatchewan at the time and endless outdoor activities to enjoy). But then fall came along, the weather started to turn, and it was clear that our original travel plans had gone up in smoke (Japan, South Korea, and Thailand).
How did your travel plans materialize in the year of the pandemic?
Time for Plan B. How about a 3-month slow travel road trip through our very own Western Canada?
Starting in Canmore, we rented an Airbnb for a month and basically isolated ourselves by self-catering, eating takeout, and seeking out all the very best hikes in this stunning section of the Rocky Mountains (spoiler alert: there were a lot).
When the snow finally caught up to us there, we moved to the Okanagan Valley for a month in cute little Peachland, once again doing a lot of hiking (lake views vs mountain views), and our final stop was on Vancouver Island in the beautiful Comox Valley.
There we spent the month exploring very different trails through the unique northern temperate rain forest of giant Douglas firs, almost always ending up at yet another phenomenal waterfall.
Yes, it definitely rained a lot, but rarely very hard, and with mild temperatures and fantastic new scenery to enjoy we ended up very thankful to still have the freedom and proximity to experience such superb alternatives, regardless of the depressing reasons for our change of plans.

So 2020 showcased different accommodation options. We knew houseboats existed but didn’t know it existed in Canada. They can be great to maintain social distance, enjoy slow travel, and relax in the lap of nature! So, what if you took a responsible physically distant vacation on a house boat on remote lake, and something hilarious took over? Check what Nicole’s family did.
COVID Approved: Quiet houseboat vacation with an unexpected stag party
By Nicole Hunter from Vancouver, British Columbia
Where were you planning to travel in 2020?
We had to come back from Australia within 2 days of covid restrictions arriving in March. We had not yet made plans for the summer.
What’s your travel story in the year of the pandemic?
We decided to rent a houseboat for a week on Shuswap lake, a five-hour drive from Vancouver, our home. This decision meant that we could avoid planes and stay in a floating house away from others.
Another family, close friends of ours, rented their own houseboat and together we vacationed together yet safely. The houseboats were each 5 bedrooms and approximately 2000sq feet with a hot tub on the top deck and a water slide off the boat into the lake.
During the day, we floated in Shuswap lake, an enormous lake approximately 309.6 km². We were surrounded by towering mountains covered in forests, blue sky, and barely another soul around. We each rented seadoos, stand up paddleboards, and speed boats for waterskiing and wakeboarding. Between us, there were 5 kids ranging in age from 15-19 years old.
At night, the two houseboats beached next to each other and one family was responsible for making dinner that we then shared in front of a fire. There was a lot of wine, s’mores, and stargazing.
Can you tell us about the hilarious incident while house boating in Canada?
One of the funniest experiences we had was one night when we beached our boats for the night. We found this enormous empty beautiful beach that we were thrilled to find. We left to go water skiing and sea doing and by the time we came back, the beach was filled with another 10 houseboats, one of which was hosting a stag and bachelor party.
We laughed in horror as the guys changed into mankinis, strung Xmas lights everywhere, set up strobe lights, released a dried ice cloud, and started pulsing to the house music with the girls. It was amazing to see how quickly this quiet untouched part of the earth turned into party central for one night. Thankfully, all returned to normal the next morning and this never happened again.
