3 Mindful Travel Tips
Now more than ever, travel feels necessary for our happiness. But, it's also ever important to travel mindfully and cautiously. Be sure to plan ahead as much as possible, and if you're driving, prepare by getting all your groceries and supplies ahead of time.
#1 Be Up to Date on Local Regulations
Local regulations are constantly changing throughout the nation, and if you're traveling it's important to understand the current rules in place. The Sanibel Chamber of Commerce offers regular updates, travel alerts, and current safety protocols.
#2 Keep Your Distance and Avoid Large Groups
Be respectful of the personal space of others and keep your distance as best as possible while out in public. Follow social distancing guidelines wherever you go, and avoid congregating in large groups.
#3 Be Extra Patient and Understanding
Many of us have felt on edge for the last few months, and while we're starting to return to a sense of normalcy, there's still a lot of uncertainty. Be mindful of others and have extra compassion toward restaurant workers, locals, and other people who you encounter on your vacation.
