Whether you’re jetting off on a family holiday, embarking on a road trip adventure, or simply making a quick visit to family and friends, here are 3 travel hacks to make your holiday season a pleasant one.
1. Plan ahead
Planning ahead is the secret sauce to ensuring your travels are as pain-free as possible. Before you embark on your adventure, take some time to create a checklist of all your travel essentials. This checklist should include items like your passport, tickets, itinerary, and, of course, a basic first aid kit.
2. Stay hydrated
Dehydration can be a silent troublemaker when it comes to discomfort while traveling. It can cause headaches, nausea and fatigue.¹ To combat this, make sure to drink plenty of water while you’re on the move. Carry a reusable water bottle with you and aim to stay refreshed throughout your trip.
3. Stretch your legs
Whether you’re on a long-haul flight or a road trip across the country, taking regular breaks to stretch your legs and get your blood flowing can work wonders. Being in one position for an extended period can lead to stiffness and aches.² Stand up, walk around, do some simple stretches – anything to keep your muscles engaged.
