Stay up to date on everything you need to know in less than 5 minutes, twice per week. No ads — just the news and tips you want.

It’s my daily life in pictures. I like to post behind the scenes of my show, my travel adventures and other beautiful moments that catch my eye.

If you’ve been following the news, you already know how risky (or difficult) it can be to travel. Thanks to the spread of COVID-19, many countries are implementing harsher border controls, travel restrictions and curfews to curb the rate of infection. But that isn’t stopping legions of brave college students and thrill-seekers who see a silver lining amid the pandemic. Prices for plane tickets have plummeted in recent weeks, as have prices for cruises.

Many of these people know the risks, but are either unafraid of getting sick or aren’t worried about infecting others. But this attitude misses the point. If you travel and the situation in your destination country escalates, you could be stranded there for a very long time. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, and only time will tell whether saving a couple bucks was worth risking their health — and the health of others, too.

Ever wonder why airline tickets were so pricey before the outbreak?
