A light-hearted look at lockdown travel

While there is no escaping the devastation caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus – both from a global health perspective and from a financial viewpoint – sometimes it is important to take a lighthearted look at the world around us, and to remember that better times lie ahead. I’m sure many of you have been sent all manner of different videos, jokes and memes. Here are just some from a travel perspective to hopefully brighten up your day. I hope you enjoy them and, until next time, do keep safe and well. Quarantine day 14

Fantastic! That first TikTok video is incredibly creative and looks quite realistic at first. I also liked the keyworker with his furloughed mates… haha! :) :)

They’ve gone to a lot of effort with that London tube one. Excellent!!!

I still can’t get over that first tiktok video and just had to re-share! It’s a great collection of fun travel stuff. I also like that new airport code. I actually now would like to go to BTH, then later to MNC if time permits.

Being light-hearted about it all is probably one of the only things that carries me through the days lately. With everything that’s going on in the world, having a good attitude has to be solidified to make sure that you’re ready for getting through uncertainty. And that’s a tough lesson, but it sure helps to laugh a bit.

Haha, some of these memes really did make me laugh out loud. It feels good to have a smile these days. I do a lot of scrolling through social media, and when I see something like this, it makes me feel better for sure. In a very silly way, which is fine by me!
