Things are really scary right now. The number of cases of Coronavirus are continuing to rise along with the death toll. Everyone is afraid to leave their house even just to go to the grocery store. I mean, before just recently going to my aunts house in Chicago, I hadn’t left the house in two weeks! I was bored out of my mind and had probably watched almost every movie on Netflix. Some of them are really, really bad. Along with all this movie watching i’ve been doing, i’ve also been thinking about what i’m going to do and where i’m going to go when the quarantine has been lifted. In this blog post, I will be giving 2 suggestions on where to travel to when the quarantine is over. These suggestions will consist of places that have been badly impacted by the Coronavirus and are in need of some serious tourist money when this pandemic is over. Also, I mean, why not take advantage of super cheap airline tickets!
My first adventure suggestion is Barcelona, Spain. Spain has recently closed its borders to contain the spread of this horrible virus but that doesn’t make this city any less beautiful. Barcelona is about a 6 hour drive Northeast from Spain’s capital Madrid, on the coast of the Balearic Sea. This city is a true wonder, full of art and color. Barcelona was the favored city of a famous artist named Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi created 10 beautiful buildings that were all intricately made to be 100% unique so not one looks anything like the other. They are all truly amazing to see and experience and are all on my bucket list to see before I die.
My second adventure suggestion is Florence, Italy. Italy is a country that has been severely impacted by the Coronavirus and it’s borders have been closed since the beginning of the pandemic. While this city has been turned into a ghost town because of this virus, it’s architectural beauty still shines through the depressing cloud over it. This city is full of beautiful statues, arches, buildings, and Renaissance art that are really a life must-see. One of the most popular sights is the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. This cathedral took 6 centuries to complete and is the third largest cathedral in the world. If this beautiful building doesn’t make you want to see this city I don’t know what will.
The world is a crazy place right now and everyone is scared. Scared of losing loved ones or getting sick themselves. It is in these times that we must hold on to hope. Hope that this will all soon be a bad memory that we will move past but never forget. To have hope means to have hope in a future where life returns to normal or at least close to the normal we had and for me, being able to finally travel where I want to will be my true indication that everything is going to be ok.
Let's go on an adventure
