FOR BUSINESS
To put your mind at ease, take a
moment to think through the
Meeting or event. Go through the
agenda; is there anything you’ve
forgotten? Now is the time to take
care of these details.
If you’re not the only one from your
company making this trip, make sure
your staff has all the relevant travel
information and is clear on where
and when to meet.
FOR PLEASURE
Do you have your boarding
passes, hotel or airbnb
reservation, and a way to get from
the airport to your accommodations?
If you’re relying on your phone to
store all of your tickets and info,
make sure you have a charger and/or
external battery so your phone
doesn’t die on you. If you’re traveling
internationally, it’s probably worth it
to print these items out and make
sure a friend and/or family member
has a copy too.
pss - this is worth doing too

YOU ARE WHAT YOU
EAT (and drink)

HEALTHY SNACKS
Hit up a grocery store as
soon as you arrive in a city. Think of it
as a cultural exploration and look for
something new to try. You might be
surprised at the fun new foods or snacks
you find.
H2O
Some of us tend to drink more caffeine
when our schedule changes, but if you
focus on drinking water (and just
consume your normal amount of
caffeine), you’ll feel a lot better.

FOR BUSINESS
If you’re stuck in a conference
room or hotel all day, just
taking a quick walk around outside
the hotel or convention center to
get some fresh air and enjoy some
sunshine.
FOR PLEASURE
Plan to do one physical activity
per day. Take a walking or biking
tour. Climb the stairs of a building or
plan a hike to move while seeing the
sites. In Austin you can paddle-board
the river through the downtown area
and enjoy a different view. Be
creative.
Whether you’re traveling for fun or work, taking
some time to stretch and get the blood flowing
can make a huge difference. Check out
Pinterest or Google for some great hotel-room-
friendly stretches and exercises.

WALK
Getting up and walking around
(when allowed) during a flight is both
physically beneficial and can prevent
clots and other nasty things we don’t
want our bodies to have to deal with.
DECOMPRESS
You may need to get things done during
a flight, but when possible, it’s great to
just relax, watch a movie, get some
sleep, or read a book and arrive
refreshed and ready to go.

PRE TRIP
Make sleep before the trip a priority.
It can be so hard to do when you’re
preparing for a busy time, but it is so
worth it.
DURING
Whether for work or play, travel days
tend to be long. Fit a nap in when
possible to keep your body charged and
ready for whatever comes next.
TURN YOUR BRAIN OFF
Make a list before you go to bed of what
needs to be done the next day to allow
your mind to relax.

SOMETHING UNPLANNED WILL
HAPPEN, so take a deep breath and
deal with it as the graceful and capable
person you are.
Don’t forget to communicate with
anyone who needs to know about what’s
going on or any change of plans.

YOU MADE IT!
You’re trip is over and now it’s time
to recover. Make sure to allot some
time to decompress post-travel. I
recommend catching up on some much-
needed sleep. Then do whatever helps
you relax; watch Netflix, take a walk, or
do some yoga.
