It’s been months since the world has been impacted by the coronavirus, and the pandemic changed everything from how we shop for groceries or exercise to how we work or travel. People have found themselves building new home offices, getting their groceries delivered to their homes, and following online workout routines to adapt to everything that’s going on while still trying to continue living their lives.

One industry that has been impacted the most because of COVID-19 is the travel industry; for a while in the beginning things came to a complete standstill as flights were grounded and airports were closed. Months later, many countries are still not allowing inbound tourism; the U.S. has banned almost all non-U.S. citizens who were recently in certain countries such as Brazil, China, or parts of Europe. Similarly, nearly all of Europe prohibits those who have visited the U.S. from entering as well.

The weather’s getting chillier. The leaves are turning orange from the lush green it was just a week ago. Coffee spots are starting to bring back pumpkin spice lattes to their seasonal menus. It’s officially time to pull out the hoodies, flannels, and comfy boots because fall is here ladies and gentlemen.

And though I adore all of the things I’ve mentioned already, my absolute favorite part of fall is Halloween. No matter how old I get, my family and I go all out for the spooktacular festivities.

One of the best things about vacationing in a new destination is trying out all the amazing local cuisine. Whether it’s to another city, state, or an entirely different country, travel allows you to indulge in different tastes and flavors. Honestly, it’s one of my most favorite aspects of a holiday; I use the time to not just eat the food, but to better understand the spices and process that went behind it and sometimes even meet and get to know the mastermind behind the culinary concoction.

Airbnb has been ranked one of the top hotel booking sites on TravelSites consecutively for a while now.
