Even During COVID, Travel Opportunities Are All Around Us

You can still make your great escape if you open your mind

For months now, my partner and I have been itching to get out of the house and go someplace new. Recurring stay-at-home orders have become commonplace over the past year, and the most recent one came to an end last week.

The government is slowly beginning to roll out its phased re-opening plan, but many stores, small businesses, restaurants, and other attractions that would normally be ramping up for a busy cottage season ahead remain closed or are running modified operations to adhere to Covid regulations.

With the typical range of summer travel options severely limited, it wasn’t easy to pick a destination, even just for a quick getaway. We both enjoy camping, but even the provincial park system here in Ontario currently isn’t allowing overnight stays.

So instead, we expanded our horizons and began searching for other ways to have a mini-adventure. And that’s when I remembered Cabinscape.

Look beyond your normal activities

Sometimes you just need to think outside the box a bit. Just because the typical activities aren’t possible in the current climate doesn’t mean there aren’t other options available.

If we couldn’t go camping, we could still spend some time alone in the woods in a tiny, eco-friendly cabin instead.

It’s a scientific fact that being in nature makes us happier and healthier. A quick escape to the woods is the ultimate form of medicine.

I first learned of this Canadian company a couple of years ago, and the concept behind their vision immediately drew me in. They wanted to build sustainable, off-grid cabins with all the comforts of home for people to get away from their normal lives for a short time and really experience the beauty and serenity of nature.

And that’s exactly what we wanted to do! With a contactless check-in system and no other souls anywhere in sight, a Cabinscape getaway was the perfect, Covid-safe solution for a much-needed change of scenery.
