Traveling for photography in uncertain times

March 10, 2020 in journal

In just a few days, if the coronavirus situation doesn't get even worse, I'll be taking a plane to Ireland. That will be my first stop on a 2.5-month-long trip to Ireland, Iceland and the UK.

The way I travel makes every trip a bit uncertain, but this time, I'll be embracing the unknown from day 1. Other than the flights and a few hotels in Ireland and Iceland, I have nothing else booked or planned.

On one hand, there's the virus: Italy is in lockdown and other countries are starting to require foreigners to self-quarantine for a couple of weeks. These measures could extend to other parts of the world -including the countries I'll be visiting- at any moment, so I don't want to book anything too far ahead.

There's also the issue with the weather: it's been a mild winter here in Spain, but it looks like Iceland is still getting its fair share of snow and ice these days. My hope is to travel along the southern coast, weather permitting.

I'm very excited about this trip. I've never been to Ireland, and I've been wanting to go to Iceland for a long time. And while I did visit London before, I've never been anywhere else in the UK. I'm especially excited about spending a few weeks up in Scotland.

Hopefully I get to visit all of those places as "planned", and to share many images and videos with you all. If that's not the case, it'll be fine, I'll do my photography from somewhere else. After all, those beautiful landscapes are not going anywhere and they'll be there once this virus is under control. What matters the most now is to keep everyone safe.

I'll keep you updated. Stay healthy.
