Since the leading epidemiologists studying the coronavirus pandemic are still emphasizing the critical need for “social distancing” as a way to slow down community spread of the virus, we on the WendyPerrin.com team are still all working from home, staying off mass transit, helping kids with online classes, and limiting our outdoor activities and errands. Even as some states reopen restaurants, shops, beaches, parks, entertainment venues, and public events with restrictions and limited capacities across the country, we imagine many of you continue to spend a lot of time at home too and are feeling acute cabin fever as the weather gets nicer. So as an antidote to the anxiety and claustrophobia that’s going around, we’re sharing gorgeous spots around the globe where you can imagine yourself in blissful isolation, with little human contact and plenty of healthy fresh air. The best news? These places will be waiting for you in real life when it’s time to travel again. If there’s a relaxing place you’re dreaming about to help you get through this difficult time, please let us know in the comments below.

Hi Wendy – just a brief email to let you know what a great job Elizabeth Rand and Cherri Briggs are doing to “re-establish” our long planned journey to Africa.
Like so many other travelers, with 8 weeks to go before leaving Australia, we had to abandon our plans earlier this week. We thought we’d have to cancel, however Elizabeth was quick to point out that we could change all of this to 2021. We’ve now confirmed the dates for next year, and she is beavering away to bring it all together.
This is not an easy task, and it’s wonderful to know that we have such dedicated, knowledgeable people working with us to make it all happen.
Thank you for your WOW professionals!
