If looking back on 2020 has shown us anything, it’s that one thing has really brought us together over the years: our collective pursuit of connection.
Because, at its heart, travel is about people. And no matter how much the world around us changes, this simple fact remains the same.
So to help us all feel a bit closer right now, we’re committed to making this time about you, about your reflections and learnings from the year that wasn't. We can overcome distance or isolation with connectedness, because now, more than ever, we need to be together.
What has 2020 taught you?
As travel slowly begins to recover and we look ahead to a new year and fresh start, we’d love you to share what you’ve discovered over the course of 2020.
A renewed appreciation for travel after being cooped up indoors? A newfound mission to challenge yourself in nature after so much screen time? A longing to reconnect and explore with loved ones after a year spent apart?
Let us know what you've learned this year, and we’ll share your reflections and aspirations on our social media and blog in the coming months.
*by submitting your reflection you're consenting to an Intrepid editor reaching out to discuss your story, relevant photos, social handles and more.
