Only domestically. Too much hassle with quarantine, testing, queues at the border and ever changing rules.

Same answer as Tractor gave. Here in Denmark I can walk around without muzzle (only necessary for entering and leaving public transport), and even though I still have to show a covid pass at museums and zoos and eateries, I don't have to be tested every third day because I already have got my two jabs. But I hope that the vaccinations have reached a level later this year where the governments at least here in Europe ease up on restrictions so that it becomes possible to enjoy a trip abroad. I have a long list of places I want to visit, but I don't want to be trapped somewhere just because there is a third or fourth covid wawe at my holiday destination.

We have hopes for traveling next summer.
If things clear up a bit, I may make a little international trip in about 6 months.

I remember I had sent a letter to one association for a program (to attend it) ,they used a sentence in their letter which has not seemed realistic to me "We believe that the pandemic would be over until this june"

the june month passed,but the pandemic still available. I cannot imagine the following winter.

Domestically yes, internationally I don't because of various restrictions and the hassle of testing/quarantining/stuff may be closed down where I want to go. I'm more than ready to, however.

Internally mostly, though last summer I managed to get out of the country. I'm weighing-up whether or not to take a domestic holiday this year. There are nice places to go here, you can hire a house in the sticks somewhere for a low price.

If not I'll probably go to France or Belgium, depending on how things go. Or I might just stay at home and renovate the bathroom.

To have talked much and read much is of more value in learning to speak and write well than to have parsed and analysed half a library.
