Adriana K Smith · Can I Travel To (Insert Country): A Global Travel Restrictions Guide *Sigh* This has to be the worst comedy horror show ever to be played out in real life, huh? And, if things couldn’t get any funnier, the European Union (EU) has banned Americans from traveling to any Schengen Country.

Raise your hand if you’re getting cabin fever from all this physical and social distancing, on top of postponing your trips and getaways for several more months. I can’t be the only one. Am I right?! Memorial Day, the “American holiday honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military,” is less than a week away. We have to wonder, will we get back to …

Update [10-01-2020]: New resource to help underprivileged population in the “What about those without a home?” section. Don’t say “stuck” anymore. It’s showing your privilege! Just look at all the headlines that contain the word… I’ve wanted to write this post since all hell broke loose two months ago in the U.S. and we began to transition into tighter restrictions and lockdown.

While non-essential travel is halted, it’s still a great idea to work on our mental, emotional, and especially our physical health during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Calloway Cook of Illuminate Labs was gracious enough to offer some insight into the Vitamins and Supplements best suited for travelers.

No one and I mean no one could’ve predicted 2020 to turn out this way. We couldn’t have imagined that the world would be at a standstill fighting a disease that has already killed 120,000+ people across the globe. How are we handling this?
