Ways to cope with travel fatigue:

Travelling can be seen as a chore to some but extreme fun for others but it is definitely something that requires plenty of energy. By the end of the day, we'd be tired of exploring and some of us might just crash on the bed out of fatigue and exhaustion. This time, we'd like to share some of our tips with coping with travel fatigue.

Relax

When tired or stressed out during the trip, it is a good idea to calm down and find a nice spot to just chill and relax. It is helpful to know that the trip is to experience local life and culture so why not a hint from the locals and relax and hang out with friends.

Take breaks

We're all human after all. Taking a break every once in a while to catch a breath is important when travelling as the new environment can bring in a lot of information and all this requires time to process. Sit down on the benches at the sideof the streets for a while and just watch the world go with a cup of coffee or tea.

Don't pressure yourself

While travelling, it is to realize the agenda and the objective of the trip and not pile a huge lump of things to do onto the list to make life hard. By judging personal ability and capability it might be best to not overload ourselves with a long list of activities and tire ourselves out unncessarily.

                                                                        Indulge yourself                       

This point is slightly touched on in our previous post and we feel it's important to give ourselves a pat on the back for the road or journey we have taken. Head into a store that catches your fancy, get an ice-cream or a popsicle on a hot day, a nice cup of drink of your choice or even heading to the spa.

Rest early

Resting allows the body to recharge and this affects our mood for the next day. Depending on the activities of the day and the next, resting early gives bodily functions a head start on cleansing and repairing

Take note of food and beverage

Not being able to accustom to the local food culture or local tastes is critical for a lot of travellers and especially those with young children who worry for their children. This can save us from a lot of frustration and worry and most importantly, having to see the doctor on a holiday.

Exercise

In our previous post, we touched on this subject and we do believe that proper amounts of exercise does help the person maintain their stamina and lead to a healthy body and mind. This will help in terms of everyday life and that includes travel (what we think).

With that, we hope everyone have a great time travelling! Till next time, Safe travels everyone!!
