How To Have A Stress-Free Travel Experience
Traveling can be very stressful, whether it is for business or
pleasure. Tension can start from the planning stage up to the
time you are leaving. However, stress does not have to ruin your
business or vacation. The following simple tips are guaranteed
to help you get rid of that travel stress and enjoy yourself.
Plan ahead
There is no replacing good planning. To ensure that your travel
will be stress-free, make sure that your flights and hotel
accommodations are booked and confirmed. This will put you at
ease knowing that delays are unlikely and there will be no
surprises at the hotel desk.
If you arrange for transportation for the duration of your
travel, all the better. If you will have to get around the city
by taxi, it is good to ask the concierge to help you find a
reputable taxi company.
Be prepared to get lost
Remember that you are in a foreign land and unless you have
already traveled there, you'll have no way of knowing how to get
around. Becoming lost is probably the biggest nightmare for
travelers.
Before embarking on your trip, buy a travel book with maps and
some useful phrases that you can use with the locals. Carry with
you a credit card, identification papers and enough money to get
around the city in case you get lost. It is also a good idea to
ask your hotel for a business card which you can show to locals
when you ask for directions.
By acknowledging that you can get lost, you can better prepare
and be ready for anything.
Keep in touch
Nothing can be a better stress-buster than staying connected
with your family when traveling. With today's technology,
communication is increasingly more available.
People who travel
can now keep in touch through cellular phones, emails and text
messages. Rates in international phone calls are also cheaper
now than before.
Reward yourself
Do not procrastinate. If on a business travel, make sure that
you have done all your work before you go sightseeing. Set aside
a day where all you can do is travel to different sights in the
city. If your schedule is spread out, make sure that you have
ample time to go somewhere. It will also help to make out an
itinerary of places to see. You can always ask the hotel to help
you with that.
Eat local cuisine
Eating can minimize travel stress! So, treat yourself to the
local cuisine and stay away from your usual staple of burgers,
spaghetti and cola. Be adventurous and have fun in local
restaurants. Before leaving, you can ask people who already
traveled in the country if they can recommend any restaurants.
Hotel personnel can also help you immensely. When you're there,
don't hesitate to ask for the house specialty and enjoy!
Keep a journal Writing down your experiences during your travel
will not only preserves the memories, it will also help you
relieve stress. Describe the sights that you have seen, the
places that you have been to, even the people you have met. Get
small keepsakes from each experience, a napkin from the
restaurant where you have eaten, a receipt from a souvenir shop,
a bus ticket going to a special place. This will keep the magic
of your travel with you.
