Aires’ very own Judson Offner (Technology Product Manager) gave us a firsthand account of quarantining in his new city of Perth, Australia, upon arrival. For those unfamiliar with Australia’s quarantine procedures, you are mandated to stay in predetermined quarters (typically a hotel) for 14 days if you are traveling from just about anywhere (excluding New Zealand). Judson shared some general tips to make the best of your experience, a sense of what to expect, and, of course, photos of the quarantine meals provided to him. Read on to find out his experience and feel free to share your own with us!
Remember the iconic pre-battle scene from the movie, “Braveheart,” when Mel Gibson gives his famous and impassioned speech, ending it with an emotional and motivating cry of “freedom!” This scene is what raced through my mind after I was released from 14 days of hotel quarantine in Australia.
Here are my 5 tips to help you get through your time:
While my time in quarantine wasn’t exactly the most fun I’ve ever had, it felt good knowing that I was doing my part to help mitigate the spread of infection. if you go into a situation with low expectations, you will usually be pleasantly surprised by the way things actually go. I know I was. If you have to quarantine, you can and will get through it. Good Luck to you!
To cap off this blog post, the pictures below are of the food the hotel provided for me. This is 7-days-worth of meals, and I received this rotation twice as I spent my quarantine with them. As you can see, these were great!
