Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could all travel everywhere and anywhere we wanted to in our lifetime? Travel is so much fun and there is so much to see. Cultures, people, landmark and undiscovered cafe’s are some of the highlights of a good trip.
Packing
Getting ready to leave can be a major source of fun and enjoyment, rather than something to dread if you do it right. The time packing and prepping can give you a time to look forward to the trip, consider where it is you’re going and what kind of packing you’ll need to do for the various conditions you’ll encounter.
Arriving Back Home
When you finally get back home there are usually mixed emotions. The joy of getting back to your own bed and your own familiar surroundings, but we also feel the loss of the excitement from the travel and the disappointment of the trip being over.
Jet Lag
The older one gets, the more impact jet lag seems to have. Young people and kids can overcome jet lag and get used to new time zones real quick. If you’re over 30 it starts to get harder. We also notice that it isn’t only the sleep time that our body has a hard time getting used to, but our body has trouble adjusting to different meal times. Most cultures have different times they eat their larger meal of the day and that impacts our metabolism and our energy level. You can make some simple adjustments if you plan a head a few days before leaving and that is to start shifting your meal times and maybe going to bed a bit earlier or later depending on what direction it is you’re traveling.
