Whether you’re a seasoned business traveler or just getting started, there are a few things you should know before hitting the road. With a little planning and preparation, you can make sure your work travel goes smoothly – and maybe even enjoy it! Making your home away from home doesn’t have to be hard when you take a few things into consideration.
By making sure you have just a few key items before leaving home, you can help to ensure a pleasant experience even while working away from home.
Here are a few tips:
1. Comfortable shoes are a must.
You’ll be doing a lot of walking, so make sure you have shoes that won’t kill your feet. If you need to pack a bag with your “work shoes” do it! If you are in walking distance to your office space, take the morning to get yourself grounded with a walk to work.
2. Travel mugs are your friend.
Invest in a good travel mug to keep your coffee (or tea) hot while you’re on the go. I am in love with MyBevi mug. It keeps my water cold for a solid 24 hours. The lid has a slide that closes and keeps the liquid from spilling out.
3. Laundry bag, please.
A laundry bag can be a lifesaver when you’re traveling for work. You can pack a few days’ worth of clothes and not have to worry about finding a laundromat.
4. Take advantage of the gym.
If your hotel has a gym, make use of it! It’s a great way to stay fit while you’re on the road. If you are cooped up in the office for several hours, take some time to decompress before going to the hotel room. It’s amazing at what just a 30-minute workout will do for a person mentally.
5. Crossbody bags will be your best friend.
Stay hydrated and never forget or lose your expensive reusable water bottles with this stylish WanderFull water bottle bag. Add this gorgeous crossbody water bottle carrier to your collection of bags for a day in the city, sightseeing, festivals, concerts, cruise essentials, the dog park, or add to your Disney essentials or Universal essentials list.
6. Enjoy the occasional splurge.
When you’re traveling for work, it’s easy to get caught up in eating healthy all the time. But don’t be afraid to enjoy the occasional splurge – you deserve it!
By following these tips, you can make sure your work travel is enjoyable and productive. Bon voyage!
