The following is his five tips on how to stay safe while traveling in times of a pandemic:

1. Go for a quiet tourist destination

The star who is also an environmental activist advises people to be more selective in choosing a destination. “Opt for a quieter spot and determine your tourism data-style,” he said.

2. Choose a tourist site near home

According to him, traveling to a destination located near home can keep oneself from exhaustion due to a long trip.

3. Take staycation

Staycation can be an interesting idea to refresh the body and mind during a pandemic. People can easily book a hotel room or create a vacation atmosphere at home.

Those with children are advised to reserve a place with kid's play areas. It is also better if the site has sports facilities, he added.

4. Take a road trip

Taking a road trip using a private vehicle or renting a villa, Nicholas opined, will protect the family's privacy.

5. Limit interactions

It is advisable to limit interactions with people other than close family during a trip as much as possible.
