The Ultimate Are We Okay? Aftermath To-Do List

As per usual, we have no idea what’s going on. Everything closed for months, nothing really changed (except the weather got nice?) and suddenly states are like “meh, it’s been long enough, you can go places and do things if you want… we don't care anymore. Just wear a mask, I guess?”

We've been thinking about what the world is going to look like after this mess: how we’re going to feel, where we're going to go, and the many things we can’t wait to do. Although we can’t say we agree with how this whole situation is being handled, being cooped up in our houses for almost 3 months has made us long for things that we never knew we wanted.


So we created the ultimate aftermath to-do list of activities we simply must do when the world (actually) goes back to “normal”:

  • Go on a road trip

  • Go backpacking

  • Go camping

  • Go skydiving

  • Go rafting

  • Hitchhike across the border

  • Go to the airport and buy a ticket to the cheapest destination
