Very good plans, Angela! I think the world will be open again in some three years - let's say from 2023-24; Before that there will be opportunities to travel to some countries on some periods - at least in Europe, borders are not closed, or they keep on opening and closing them from time to time. I think governments will develop some universal criteria when it is more or less safe to open borders and allow travel, and what kind of precautions we should use. I don't feel much social distancing in Lithuania, for instance. Yes, we have to wear masks while in public places inside (like when shopping or in public transport). Concerts and other kind of gatherings are taking place, too. At this point it is quite safe in Italy, too, for instance. Of course, situation can hardly get better during winter period, so I am prepared for that... But then there will be spring time, and situation will improve again. Besides, people are good about adapting, and we all will get used to new reality, and perhaps won't notice some restrictions too much.
So far, at this point, it is good time to dream about our travels and prepare for that in terms of finances, or perhaps learning something on in-depth level/reading some books. I think life is good anyways.
But why are you not meeting your friends for lunch? Is everything still closed where you are?
