Five Great Destinations for American Expats in 2021

The beginning of 2020 was quite scary for American expats because everyone was excited to plan out the new year and go places and visit their loved ones, instead, all of us got locked in our houses due to the sudden Corona Virus outbreak causing one of the worst pandemics this world has seen.

Every country in the world decided to go under lockdown to avoid being affected by the deadly virus.
The idea of lockdown sounded nice at first because all of us got to take a break from our busy lives but
no one knew when this would end and soon staying at home and doing nothing all day became unpleasing
as it didn’t seem like a break anymore.

But now as the year is ending and due to all the precautions and measures we’ve been taking for our
own safekeeping has helped lessen the number of cases each day, at this speed, the lockdown will soon
end and all of us can go back to the lives we meant to live prior to the year we lost, meaning we can give
ourselves a break to actually break out from the quarantine lifestyle we were living under pressure and
go abroad to give ourselves the vacation that we deserve.

Following are the places American expats & global citizens can visit in the year 2021, grab your bags and start packing already.
