AS 057: Safe Travels After Quarantine

06/09/20 • 43 min

We’re welcoming back the very first guest of the podcast...Bailey Smith! Since we last spoke with Bailey about her time living overseas in Europe for 2 years, she has been settling back in to her life in Oregon and most recently founded her own travel planning service called Indie Travel Design. Not only does she help people plan their getaways, honeymoons, baby moons, and more, but she also is very passionate about working with nonprofits and other organizations to ensure their mission trips go off without a hitch.

Bailey lives and breathes travel, so I wanted to get her take on the effects the pandemic has had on the industry, and what travel may look like in the future. Keep in mind, no one can know exactly how things will change, but she’s dug up some interesting trends and facts that could give us an idea of what’s to come. We’re going to cover passenger precautions, the potential of a new health enforcement agency, travel restrictions, and the overall economic impact. Think you’re ready to pack your bags and jump on the next flight out of here? This episode may help you figure that out, now...let’s get to adulting!
