The CEO of Airbnb, Brian Chesky, seems to think travel will change forever too.  “Travel has changed forever,” Airbnb CEO [Brian Chesky](https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianchesky/) said in a recent interview with [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/travel-has-changed-forever-airbnb-ceo-brian-chesky-113558494.html). Amidst the pandemic, people were not traveling the way that they used to. Cars became preferred over planes, and traveling only 300 miles was the new average. Because of this many people were exploring closer to home and finding hidden spots they never knew were right in their home states.  When life slowed down, the over 400 [National Parks](https://www.nps.gov/index.htm) in the US became one of the most popular places to go. This also goes for state and local parks. As the end of the pandemic is in sight, travel experts think that lots of people will continue to explore natural areas that are closer to home. It is less of a time commitment to stay closer to home and will save lots of money as well.  How has the pandemic changed your travel perspective? Do you think you will travel smaller distances than you used to, or are you ready to get back to the way things were?  [findspotz](https://www.findspotz.com/blog/tag/findspotz) [travel](https://www.findspotz.com/blog/tag/travel) [April 6, 2021 Never Stop Exploring](https://www.findspotz.com/blog/highlighting-unique-spaces-airport-lounges) [May 11, 2021 Never Stop Exploring](https://www.findspotz.com/blog/youth-sports-benefit-everyone) [September 20, 2025 Never Stop Exploring](https://www.findspotz.com/blog/top-5-fall-events-you-can-host-with-spotz) [Previous 5 Ways to Keep Fans Engaged](https://www.findspotz.com/blog/5-ways-to-keep-fans-engaged) [Next Top 5 Uses for Community Spaces](https://www.findspotz.com/blog/5-different-ways-to-use-community-spaces) #### Discover Spotz - [How Spotz Works](https://www.findspotz.com/how-spotz-works) - [How to Host](https://www.findspotz.com/host) - [How to Rent](https://www.findspotz.com/rent) - [Watch Our Demo](https://www.findspotz.com/demo) - [Our Pricing](https://www.findspotz.com/pricing) #### Resources - [About Us](https://www.findspotz.com/about-us) - [Resource Center](https://www.findspotz.com/resources) - [The Spotz Blog](https://www.findspotz.com/blog) - [Newsroom](https://www.findspotz.com/news) - [Common FAQs](https://support.findspotz.com/knowledge/spotz-faq) #### Get In Touch - [Contact Us](https://www.findspotz.com/contact-us) [info@findspotz.com](mailto:info@findspotz.com)   [![Spotz Logo - Full Color](https://www.findspotz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Spotz%20Logo%20-%20Full%20Color.webp?width=190&name=Spotz%20Logo%20-%20Full%20Color.webp)](https://www.findspotz.com)   #### We Unite Communities Through Shared Spaces - [Spaces Overview](https://www.findspotz.com/communities) - [City Governments](https://www.findspotz.com/mayor-city-office) - [Parks & Recreation Depts.](https://www.findspotz.com/parks-and-recreation) - [Banquet & Event Venues](https://www.findspotz.com/banquet-or-event-hall) - [Gyms & Sports Facilities](https://www.findspotz.com/sports-facility) - [Churches & Faith Centers](https://www.findspotz.com/church) - [Community Centers](https://www.findspotz.com/facility-scheduling-software-for-community-centers-associations) - [Additional Spaces](https://www.findspotz.com/additional-community-spaces) Copyright © 2023 Spotz | All rights reserved. | Website by [House of Revenue®](https://www.houseofrevenue.com) [Terms & Conditions](https://www.findspotz.com/terms-conditions)  • [Privacy Policy](https://www.findspotz.com/privacy-policy) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "dateModified" : "2024-10-01", "datePublished" : "2024-10-01", "headline" : "Never Stop Exploring", "image" : [ "https://f.hubspotusercontent20.net/hubfs/6907127/5.4.21.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.findspotz.com/blog/never-stop-exploring", "@type" : "WebPage" } } ```
