With the pandemic continuing its global rampage, seeing new places will not be a priority for most people. Since my journey was outside the country, there were far more requirements — negative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test (RT-PCR) test within 72 hours prior to departure, roundtrip plane ticket and travel insurance with Covid-19 coverage.
