DO YOU HAVE ANY TRAVEL RITUALS YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT?
I’m at the airport. The journey begins.
As I was packing… I was thinking I wonder what must haves you take with you when you travel.
Do you have any travel rituals you can’t live without?
Mine for OVERSEAS TRAVEL, which is different for me to domestic travel. When traveling multiple time zones and for 33 hours… there is more to consider.
1. They might not be pretty.. but compression socks make a huge difference.🧦
2. Bush flower – travel essence. Helps with jet lag. I don’t like to believe in jet lag. Just show up and get going. Don’t buy into it, but I have tools to help. 😜
Hmmm.. may have to import some more from Australia soon!
3. Eye Mask- a must for sleeping on the plane.🧘♂️
4. Ear plugs and now… I tend to use Bose noise canceling headphones on the airplane. But still always have ear plugs, cause you never know how loud it will be where you sleep… in hotels, etc.. especially on the party island of Ibiza. 😆
5. My pillow. I even backpacked around the world with my family for 4 months with it. Bad pillows = bad sleep for me. No thank you. 🛏
6. Snacks!! I always bring food. Hate being on a long haul flight and being hungry when the food sucks.
I have sliced turkey, carrots and red capsicum (pepper) with me today. Plus hard boiled eggs to eat for brekkie and some larabar bars and turkey jerky. 🥕🌶🥪
Healthy eating also helps feel good when I land.
7. I always carry my jewelry with me on the plane. I don’t want it lost.
8. I carry with me spare change of clothes… undies, socks and a spare t-shirt. Just in case! 👚
9. I also carry with me… deodorant and toothpaste/toothbrush and important supplements. Again… just in case.
I have been landed on too many overnight delays etc to not be prepared. Lol!
10. Whilst I often bring a book, and of course have kindle on my phone… I sometimes grab a magazine. Some lighter reading that grabs me in the airport.
Yesterday I saw a magazine on Queen Elizabeth’s life. I grabbed it. Hey I’m going on a goddess retreat and this year been embodying queen/empress energy. So no better way to do that then by studying the life of a queen or Empress. 👑👑👑
I think that’s the majority of my overseas travel thoughts.
What about you? Inspire me. Entertain me while I wait for my first plane.
First stop Charlotte, North Carolina. I’ve never seen that airport. Let the adventures begin.
