Where will you travel first after lockdowns

I was asked this question today.

That put me thinking -

Of course, the past year has been transformative in terms of work. Now we are zooming all day, working remotely. What will happen when we have our vaccinations and we open up our borders and societies. Mass travel? No travel? Or a blend of zooming, traveling and office work?

Well, there are probably many, many versions to the answer to this and only time will tell.

But one answer we probably all have prepared — where will you travel first?

Perhaps you will just stay where you are, even not bothering or wanting to go to the office. Or maybe you are a person who is going to jump on the first plane somewhere.

I have actually not been to my company offices since September last year. Time has actually past by very quickly. We have had a very agile team, not that everything has been just easy. We have had to adapt and put an effort behind it to make it work. As a team we have grown tremendously. We have new employees who have never seen other colleagues in real life.

My first travel will be to our offices and I am much looking forward to it. But that is still somewhere in the future, not even close to happening probably.

Besides that, I am certain that I am heading to US as my first customer/investor visit.

Now, most of us can still only dream — form your plans, stay resilient and sturdy until the times are back that we can travel and meet each other.

Where will you travel first?
