2020, what can be said that hasn't been said already? It has been a crazy roller coaster and is surely going to be one year we'll be happy to say "goodbye" to. For Free & Easy (and the rest of the travel industry), it would be an understatement to say that it's been a difficult year. Some might say that a simple goodbye to 2020 wouldn't be enough, some might have some stronger words to express farewell. Whatever you wanna say, here at Free & Easy, we will be saying it from the beaches of Costa Rica!

Not every person likes their pizza pie the same. When it comes to ordering a delicious hot pizza from our favourite restaurant, we customize the toppings to include that pepperoni or green peppers because we know what we like and what we want. But can you order up your next Free & Easy trip the same way? Yes, yes you can!

FnEZ Travel Update: Where will we travel first?!
These days, during the time of Covid-19, there are a lot more questions than answers regarding travel. At least now with some restrictions starting to loosen up, it is starting to feel that we can take a deep breath and begin to ease into some type of normalcy. With the discussion from some countries about opening borders, airlines beginning to put out safe travelling guidelines and schedules, we are very much watching for any opportunity where we can pack our backpacks, unfold our sunnies and hit the road. We, here at Free & Easy, are paying close attention to our most favourite countries so that when the world is ready to travel we will be ready too.
