Lindsay Myers, a Los Angeles-based budget travel and lifestyle expert has always had that wanderlust feeling for adventure. But, with the unfortunate matters we’re all facing, it’s important to do our part and stay home. So, what happens to travelers who have an upcoming trip they booked months ago and are not sure if they should cancel or not? Right now, many airlines are offering special circumstances if your flight was set to be in March or April and are being extended to permit travel until December 31, 2020. You can change your flight without any fees up until the end of the year, or you can receive credit. It’s great knowing that your money is protected, but remember to wait until it's safe to travel. Airfares have dropped significantly so consider booking for the future to help the economy get back to where it once was! Here are Get Lost with Lindsay’s round-up of deals that are NOW truly STEALS on Google Flights!

Even though we’re staying at home, it doesn't mean we can't still experience everything the world has to offer. According to Lindsay, there are so many amazing virtual tours that can take you on an adventure. Museums, National Parks and Broadway can all be brought right to your living room! You can walk the halls of some of the best museums in the world, see the highest peaks in Hawaii, or watch Phantom of the Opera, all without leaving your couch.
