·1 min read

The pandemic has taken a toll on travel during the past 19 months, but many people are starting to venture to destinations that they only dreamed of visiting last year.

Or if you are staying a bit closer to home for your adventures, that's great, too! Hello, Columbus would love to have a photo of you and your family or friends at your travel destinations.

Regardless of whether you are sending us a photo from near or far, choose a vacation photo showing you, your companions and the Travel page, and send it to The Dispatch. Make sure to include the names and hometowns of the people pictured, from left to right; where the photo was taken; a tip to help other travelers; and contact information for you in case we have questions. But please, no submissions from previous years.

Submissions can be emailed to Becky Kover, bkover@dispatch.com.

Grand Circle Travel includes home visits with their tours, and these interactions with locals are always favorite events. Our advice is to spend time with locals to learn about life in other countries.
