Whether it’s visiting the Great Pyramid or climbing Mount Fuji (read our guide here!), no doubt you’ve got a pretty extensive travel bucket list you’d like to get through (and sooner rather than later, thank you very much).
Lockdowns and stay-at-home orders as a result of recent COVID-19 outbreaks, in addition to Australia’s less-than-impressive vaccine roll-out, means we’re still a little ways off from being able to tick these off our lists.
