Healthy Living and Travel Tips

About

Welcome to the Healthy Living and Travel Tips blog! Why blog about being a healthy traveler you might ask? And who am I to talk about this subject?

This is my 14th year of full-time travel.  I can hardly believe it has been that long!  I am a business consultant who works everywhere but where I live.  So that makes me one of those road-warriors you see so many of in airports across the country. You know, those people shuffling a big heavy computer bag plus a carry-on, looking haggard and run-down, a cell-phone or two permanently plastered to their head, overweight and wandering around the concourse looking for anything close to fresh fruit.

I didn’t plan on this career, it kind of found me. And it was supposed to be exciting and glamorous!  But folks, traveling full-time is anything but that. It can be hard on your health if you allow it (and I did). If you can make it through security in one piece without losing any of your precious liquids, you thank your lucky stars that this leg of the trip is another one down. It is stressful.

You often ask yourself “When am I going to NOT have to do this? How do I regain the health and vitality I had before I started on the road full-time while I am still traveling?”

That’s me. I am someone who has been traveling a long time, someone who will still have to travel for awhile due to the financial crisis and someone who needed to regain their health and vitality. I let some of mine slip away over the years.  But am regaining that health and vitality back!  And that’s what part of this blog is about–helping me and others regain their health and vitality back.

So the healthy travel tips I have learned through trial and error over the years I hope will be helpful for you no matter whether you travel only on occasion or are like me and travel way too much.  And I hope that you will comment and pass along some of your travel tips to the rest of us as we road-warriors (and occasional travelers) both need all the help we can get!
