Being grounded during these tough COVID times, my curiosity has not stopped, it\u2019s only been transferred to exploring some local destinations, doing day trips but still I\u2019m planning international trips for late 2021 till 2022.\u00a0 In the past, whenever I informed my mother about any upcoming trip, she would always ask, \u201cSims why do you want to go there?!\u201d.\u00a0 So instead of merely listing those places I dream about and plan for, this post will explain the reasons for my travel tabanca!\u00a0 Tabanca is the Trini word for a painful feeling of unrequited love causing unbalanced behavior\u2026yup, pretty accurate I would say!\u00a0 On to my list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DUBAI &amp; ABU DHABI<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UAE is one country made up of 7 Emirates.&nbsp; Dubai and Abu Dhabi are 2 of these Emirates that I\u2019d like to visit.&nbsp; Why do I want to visit a Middle Eastern country?&nbsp; Well for one, I\u2019d like to explore the wealthiest city of the Emirates, Dubai.&nbsp; Dubai was created in 1971 following independence from Great Britain. Secondly, Emirates Airlines offers free global coverage for COVID 19 health expenses and quarantine costs just in case.&nbsp; Next, the Expo 2020 Dubai was rescheduled for October 2021 \u2013 March 2022 and this will be the 1<sup>st<\/sup> time it will be held in the Middle East. &nbsp;Lastly, I\u2019d like to see the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa and also visit the long awaited Museum of the Future.&nbsp; Dubai is a country that offers luxury tourism which would be something new for me to experience.&nbsp; I imagine it would be somewhat similar to Las Vegas, but with over the top luxury displayed and experienced to the nth degree!&nbsp; Abu Dhabi is the capital city of the Emirates and is home to the Sheikh Zayed mosque.&nbsp; To be frank it haunts my Instagram dreams.&nbsp; This mosque took over 10years to build and embodies Islam\u2019s message of peace and tolerance of people of all religious beliefs.&nbsp; The white\/gold facades are spectacular and breathtaking!&nbsp; According to Google, the UAE is the most popular destination for 2021.&nbsp; I tell you as soon as those borders open, I AM GOING!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/129174473_294193325313889_520307850846387129_n-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1229\" data-link=\"https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/?attachment_id=1229\" class=\"wp-image-1229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/129174473_294193325313889_520307850846387129_n-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/129174473_294193325313889_520307850846387129_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/129174473_294193325313889_520307850846387129_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/129174473_294193325313889_520307850846387129_n-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/129174473_294193325313889_520307850846387129_n-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/129174473_294193325313889_520307850846387129_n.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/abu-dhabi-mosque-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1230\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/abu-dhabi-mosque.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/?attachment_id=1230\" class=\"wp-image-1230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/abu-dhabi-mosque-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/abu-dhabi-mosque-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/abu-dhabi-mosque-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/abu-dhabi-mosque-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/abu-dhabi-mosque-585x585.jpeg 585w, https:\/\/yellowwigtravelgurus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/abu-dhabi-mosque.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>GREECE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greece offers both history and the pristine beaches with crystal clear waters.&nbsp; This is not joke history either, their history is over 7000 years old!&nbsp; It is also home to 18 UNESCO World Heritage sites. &nbsp;I\u2019ve already been to 26 other sites around the world, so this will be my chance to tick off visiting a few more.
