Small Destinations, Updated Travel Restrictions, Digital Nomad Visa, Ethiopia Church Forests and More...

Hey,

Two days ago we finally caught a glimpse of the beach here in Bali. Standing on the beach is still not allowed but there's an area where you can stand (legally) at the edge of the sand behind a gate.

Watching the sunset over the water after so long honestly felt like landing on a new planet. It was a good reminder about not taking things for granted!

Traveling with a kitten

Since I plan to take our kitten to the US, I began doing research on traveling with a cat. Interestingly, the US is very relaxed and most states don't even require a health certificate to import one. However, finding an airline that allows pets in the cabin, especially during this situation and in this region, is a challenge. If you have any pet travel tips, please do share!

Small destinations to check out

I'm not a big city guy. I prefer smaller destinations. So, looking for some inspiration yesterday, I put a call out on Facebook, asking for everyone's favorite smaller destinations around the world. Inspiration was served in the form of over 150 comments, with a lot of intriguing places I didn't know much about before!

Updated Travel Restrictions
I found this interactive travel regulations map created by IATA. It contains the most recent information that each country has announced in terms of entry rules for travelers during this unique time.

Our first glimpse of the beach!

Here's the rest of this week's travel email...

Church Forests
With almost all of its forests gone, if you do see a forest in Ethiopia, the chance is high that it's surrounding a church.

Work Remotely
If you're looking for work beyond the 9 to 5, Hubstaff can be a good resource for finding remote jobs.

That's the website name of Jessica Nabongo, the first documented black woman to visit all 195 countries on the planet.

What Happened to Percy Fawcett?
An adventurer and explorer, he disappeared in the Amazon without a trace while searching for a lost jungle metropolis.
