Staying healthy on the inside and the outside is difficult enough when settling into a local role. When you add frequent travel into your routine, new challenges enter the mix. Here are a few easy and helpful ways to promote health and wellness on your travels!

Fitness Routines You Can Pack

Some fitness routines are easily integrated into the travel work lifestyle. Light weights, resistance bands, yoga mats, jump ropes, and other small fitness accessories can go with you anywhere. Check out these options from Amazon.

Scope Out Local Spots For Walking, Running, Biking, or Hiking 

There are always local parks, community centers, botanical gardens, or nature trails that are perfect for your active routine. Try them all and settle into your favorite during your stay. Check local bike shops for rentals if biking is your preferred activity. You can also find local running clubs to join for group runs and social events.

Virtual Therapy

Mental health is more accessible now than it has ever been before. You can have a therapist in your back pocket no matter where you are with virtual mental health services. Virtual sessions may be offered by a local provider in your hometown or from one of these online services:

• Better Help
• TalkSpace
• 7Cups
• BrightSide
• Teledoc

Take Up Journaling

Journaling offers a simple and effective way to release thoughts and feelings, process experiences, and reflect on your life. It’s also a wellness routine that can easily fit into your busy schedule and your suitcase. 

Seek Community

When you frequently travel from place to place, it can be difficult to experience a sense of belonging. But this is crucial for your well-being and your mental health. Seek out community in like-minded people at work, local clubs, religious organizations, or social events that can be that community for you. 

Make Time For Adventuring

This is by far one of the best parts about being in the travel healthcare industry—and likely what brought you here in the first place! Schedule time in your week to explore all the new places you visit, from food and nature to attractions and events. The world is your oyster!
