Covid is still managing to close borders, create chaos and undo any plans made, but we’re doing our best to keep up with the ever-changing rules and regulations to how Covid continues to affect travel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marty wrote a detailed post and <\/span>checklist for travelling during Covid in 2022<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It includes all the information you need to navigate what you need to do before you go, which travel insurance covers you for Covid and even unexpected quarantine. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It includes what forms, apps and info you need to feel confident about travelling in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, are we any closer to completing our goal of visiting every country?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer spent in Victoria – working hard for the money<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We spent the first three months of 2021 in a beach town in Victoria, Australia. It’s the best time of year to be in this part of Oz. It’s summer, the days are long, the weather is warm, the beaches are inviting, and it was a chance to spend time with my family. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We even picked up some work in a restaurant that had just opened. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It often surprises many people that we don’t have an endless flow of cash to travel. We sometimes work random jobs here and there to put more money in the bank to continue travelling the world. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re wondering what kind of jobs we do, we talk about them in our post <\/span>20 jobs that pay you to travel the world<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When not at our ‘summer job’, our free time was spent working hard on our travel blog, fishing and enjoying the beach. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we had Frida our campervan with us, so we took some day trips away too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s worth pointing out that at the beginning of 2021, international borders were still closed due to Covid. They had been since March 2020. Also, the Australian government forbid all Australians from leaving the country (unless you got an exemption from the government to leave). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we couldn’t leave Australia even if we wanted to. There was no set date to when Australia would open back up, so we made a plan to do what we do best…to travel!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
