It's been one full year since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. To mark this anniversary, we brought Emily Scott, registered nurse, science educator, and travel blogger, back on Alpaca My Bags to discuss the COVID-19 measures, vaccines, and the future of travel. For Emily, this was the year that she stopped traveling. Instead, she found herself treating the first COVID-19 patient in the USA, and many afterward. She explains what the coronavirus vaccines mean for the future of this pandemic and for travelers, whether it’s ok to travel internationally yet, how to travel safely right now, and her thoughts on the future of travel. Plus, we touch on some common questions about the vaccines! P.S. We're looking for more info on what you like and dislike about the podcast, and how you found us!
