1 ~~~ Learning to Travel With Long COVID ~~~ 96 After a year and a half of debilitating symptoms, writer Rebekah Peppler searches for her old sense of self in the south of France. In March 2020, just as we all did, I stopped traveling. Instead, I started lying in bed. My first and longest lasting symptoms of what would become long COVID were brain fog and an exhaustion that made sleep too much effort. I didn’t leave my apartment in Paris for months, marking time by the sun’s rise over the city, and the movement of yellow and orange rays that would cross from my headboard to the hallway wall throughout a day. My symptoms were debilitating: body aches, chest and lung pressure, tachycardia (too fast heart rate), difficulty breathing, loss of smell and taste, nerve pain, vertigo, hair loss, headaches, light and sound sensitivity—to name a few. www.cntraveler.com/story/learning-to-travel-with-long-covid?21 September 2021

Dear Women Who Travel, After a long year-and-a-half of staying close to home, I want to take a big trip this fall. I'm looking for a real adventure: getting lost in a foreign city, seeing new sights, all of it. I'm hoping it'll be a chance to reset and reconnect with myself—before the pandemic, travel was such a big part of who I was.
There's just one hiccup: I want to do this trip alone. I have a serious partner (we've been together for years and we live together) and I'm not sure how to tell him that I'd rather go by myself. We always plan our trips together, except for the occasional one with our own friends. I'm sure he'll ultimately be supportive, but I want to navigate this carefully. I know it could come off the wrong way, and I know he would typically be really excited to join a big trip like this. How do you tell someone you love, who you also love traveling with, that you want to leave them behind? —Uncertain solo traveler www.cntraveler.com/story/i-need-a-solo-trip-how-do-i-tell-my-partner22 September 2021
