HIGH ON ADVENTURE, the adventure travel magazine
|
HOA Editor’s Note: May/June 2020 We at High On Adventure recognize that life has changed for all of us since we planned this edition of our website. The coronavirus has shut down travel across the globe. In our world of adventure travel, plans are either on hold, have been amended or cancelled. Even local travel has been restricted and today’s adventures consist of going to the pharmacy or grocery, a walk or bike ride, a Zoom meeting for an exercise class or Happy Hour with friends and family. The New York Times has cancelled its print version of their Travel section as they felt it was “out of step.” But instead of canceling our publication, we will continue to bring you some of our recent adventures along with some relevant stories that address our current circumstances in the hopes that our brave and stunning writers can bring you information to make your present travel disruptions more manageable and your future travel plans richer and more sensible and secure. We had planned on publishing one of our guest writers’ story on his cruise trip around the tip of Africa. Since the CDC has issued a “No Sail Order” for cruise ships until further notice, we will hold his story until that order is lifted. Instead, he wrote an informative piece about his experience going through numerous trip cancellations, postponements and refunds with links to helpful sources for anyone faced with these kinds of issues. A number of other of our writers have shared their crisis experiences as well. At press time, we know that the COVID-19 situation is still unfolding. We hope that our stories being you some armchair travel delights and prepare you for whatever roadblocks you might encounter along your highways. Stay home, be well, wear your masks when you must go out, and wash those paws. We’ll be back again in July when we all hope we can safely go out and explore a bit farther from home.
