Traveling for work is fine, but after a while it can suck sitting in airports, spending time away from family and dealing with a jet lag. I’ve figured out how to take some of the pain out of traveling.
I feel like I’m ready to take full advantage of the finite time I have to spend in such a case. Get lost intentionally and let your intuition be your ultimate guide!
Experience the city like a local.
When I change time zones, I try to stay in that city for less than 3 days to allow myself to keep my daily rhythm. And yes always have a spare outfit in your carry-on.
Drink water and eat healthy food during your stopover.
Always have a pre-stocked ‘go’ bag with all adapters, plugs, toiletries, change of socks and paraphernalia for that quick or unexpected overnight meeting opportunity.
Ask a cab driver where he goes for peace and quiet in the city. Ask a jogger where the best hiking trails are. Once you’re there, interact with the people and the culture.
l always choose overnight flights when traveling long distances for business. That way you can sleep during the flight and wake up on the correct timezone
Now that you’ve read from the experts, your next trip should be less stressful, more productive, and maybe even a lot more fun……
