Editor’s note I REMEMBER my first international trip like it was yesterday. It was to Asia in my late 20s. I had saved for years to venture abroad and was excited to explore what other countries had to offer. Saving for the trip wasn’t the hardest part for me, it was the planning that I found quite tedious. It usually takes me four to six months to plan a holiday abroad – saving, obtaining visas (if required), booking flights, accommodation, activities and planning the itinerary. Let’s not forget the countless checklists that I tick off to ensure that everything runs smoothly before I reach my destination. Travelling during the pandemic will take much more planning, with Covid-19 tests and travel insurance a mandatory
requirement. This month’s edition is a guide on how to plan your overseas trip, now that South Africa’s borders have reopened. Check out our four-page guide on how to plan for that international trip during the pandemic that starts on page 8. If you are planning to explore sunny South Africa, check out our international travellers guide on page 12. We share the country’s top attractions to add to your bucket list. Enjoy this month’s edition. Safe travels!
