2020 was a disruption, to say the least - for travelers, for families, and for those in long distance relationships (LDR).

Imagine being in a LDR this past year and a half, anxiously awaiting news about open borders and fighting to be recognized as exceptions under the family/spouse rules for entry into their partners’ countries because #LoveIsNotTourism.

Many, like our speaker Avagail have been able to reunite with their partners under a “sweetheart visa/exception.” Avagail will be sharing her experience on what it’s like to travel for love during the pandemic. She will be giving her best advice on how to handle being apart from your significant other through distance and time.
