Dear Leapers,
So - here we go into lockdown 4 and dry January has clearly gone out the window. As ever we are being nimble with our logistics and we are here to advise and help the gapper of 2021 find safe, responsible travel solutions.
How
have we done this you might well ask - well, we've pushed hard over the
last few months, completing extensive covid risk assessments, are only
working with those who will agree to a full refund, if we can't go, and secured covid proof insurance.
Because
we send teams of volunteers, to live in Leap houses, with leap staff
and transport we can easily create "leap bubbles" to minimise the risk
of covid whilst maintaining fun and constructive social bubbles
. For more information about our risk assessments click here -
Another development through the last 6 months has been to find a way to help the independent traveller who we have realised is currently pretty lost with their options. With this in mind we have created LEAP VIP to help navigate our crazy new world.
So my key message today is
this - there are solutions, you just need to to be shown how and where.
Milly
Never have we been so busy and waiting lists are building as the Leaper of old has not wasted any time and the independent traveller of old is now jumping on board as the fear of being stranded overseas is enough to bring the out on a cold sweat!
So - leap programs are heading out to Costa Rica, Cuba and Ecuador and Kenya.
We know there are masses of you out there who pre-lockdown would have happily popped your backpack on and headed off to bounce around Asia. Right now this isn't an option BUT you can travel in that footloose fashion just in a different place and with a safety net around you. Enter Leap VIP - the travel hub which will help you do just that.
This resource is aimed at giving you the confidence to travel. It is possible, we promise.
