These Are Places Where We’d Rather Be Social Distancing Right Now

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.
