Most travelers I meet on the road all have their own methods for taking care of themselves. These are a few that I've learned in my years that keep my body running smoothly while out and about!

1 Stretch

Wake up in the mornings and spend a few extra seconds in the room warming your body up for the day. Doing some basic stretches before you put your bag on can do great things in the long run. I personally practice a few simple yoga moves to relieve the tension out of my back and legs.


2 Take the longer or harder route

Consider taking alternate modes of transportation to get places. Instead of making an effort to find the cheapest car hire in Italy or get on a taxi in Thailand, perhaps you should consider walking part of the distance. Or you could even incorporate activity and exercise into your transit plans. Spend a day on a foot-tour through the town or hire a bicycle to tour the city.

3 Sleep

This one shouldn't be too hard! When travel calls, it can be at strange hours and even through multiple climates. When we're constantly on the move, we often forget to sleep. Your body will thank you when you listen to it every now by sleeping in that extra couple hours and not taking the 4am bus to get to that next awesome city. Let your body regenerate with some much deserved pillow time.


4 Eat right 

I know it's not always the most affordable option for us budget travelers, but eating healthy goes a long way, especially down the road. You can look at it as an investment in your health down the road! Forgo that second night of greasy-delicious street food and make a quick run to the local market for some fresh fruits and vegetables.


5 Stay hydrated 

I'm always amazed at how little I find myself drinking, especially on long flights for some reason. Drinking adequate amounts of water keeps that body running smoothly. And when you get caught running across that city with all your bags on your back to make that train, you'll be prepared!

These small tips will no doubt help you stay healthy while traveling, but of course it should be said that health starts at home. Start before you leave on your trip by practicing these few tips in your everyday life. It will make them easier to follow while you are out there experiencing the world!
