Would you like to be the traveler that breezes through security, has a great flight and suffers minimally when it comes to jet lag at your destination, whilst feeling organized and pulled together? Here’s what you should do.
Always have a clear toiletry bag prepared with your go-to travel sized products. This way, when you pack, you don’t have to think about it or remember anything, thus avoiding arriving at your destination without your preferred toiletries.
Invest in decent luggage. Something that is tough and sturdy, if it is attractive that’s good as well. You want to add to your feeling of confidence as you roll your luggage through the airport, and beyond.
Be a ruthless minimalist when packing. Most of us wear the same things all the time. Work within this, and it is also helpful if you can stick to a simple colour palette. This will help keep the volume down when you pack your case.
Try to arrive at your destination a bit early to adjust to time differences if possible this is mostly for business travelers, but try and stay up until it is time for bed in the new time zone. You will adapt more quickly using this method. It also helps if you try to set your internal system to the time zone you are traveling to. Try and sleep and eat on the time of your destination.
Eat mostly protein, avoid starches and processed foods as they can aggravate your system, and make sure to stay hydrated as planes are very drying. Drinking loads of water can also offset potential jet lag.
These tips will help to ensure you are the confident, lovely person you usually see ahead of you, pulled together and looking sleek!
