Although many Australians would like to travel overseas over the coming year, many are holding off for now. That’s totally understandable – there are still so many unknowns and risks involved with overseas travel in 2022. But is it really that scary out there?
For those who’ve been stuck inside Australia for the past two years, it can be difficult to imagine what life is actually like outside the country at the moment. So over the coming months, Matt will be chatting on the podcast to Australians who’ve recently returned from different parts of the world about their travel experiences.
In this episode, Matt speaks to Daniel Kavan who recently returned from Canada. Daniel and his family had a bit of a disastrous trip home, although thankfully, that wasn’t directly due to COVID!
