For the adventurers, digital nomads, and travel enthusiasts, 2020 and the first half of 2021 was indeed a challenge. Being placed under lockdown or unable to leave their home country was a difficult experience for those who normally venture out into the world and enjoy travelling and discovering new places. Now, however, as more countries reopen their doors to tourists, travelling is starting to become an option again and finding a place to stay is getting easier as well. With more and more hotels moving their presence online, finding and booking lodgings for a holiday or weekend trip is now more convenient and accessible.
