The places on our holiday wish list for
when it's safe to travel in 2021
Holidays might be off the cards for a while but we can still dream
BY ROSHINA JOWAHEER, 23/12/2020
Escaping on a holiday, feels like something we took for granted, when we could easily
hop on a plane or train before the pandemic changed everything.
As out Editor-in-Chief Gaby Huddart puts it, the Covid-19 crisis has "defined the meaning
of surreal". 2020 has been a year like no other and while we reflect on the turbulent year
and look forward to a more hopeful 2021, we thought we'd take a look at something that
always brings us joy: browsing our next holiday.
Covid-19: Please check the latest guidance from the government before travelling
in 2021
While there's still uncertainty in the world right now, there are always pockets of
happiness to be found and ways to escape for a few minutes. Our pick of 2021 holiday
ideas include the places on our wish list for when things are back to the 'new normal'.
