5 Tips for Frequent Travel

Not only do I love to travel but it’s also become a big part of my work and career.

It’s great to see new places and be meeting new people, but often people ask me “how do you do it?”  Mostly I smile, because to me, travel is such a big part of my life that I don’t really think about how sometimes it can be chaotic.

We all have an element of life that can feel overwhelming sometimes, even if it’s wonderful.  I’m sure parenting can be like this, or being a nurse.  Every one has an aspect of their life that, while wonderful the vast majority of the time, it can have moments that can make you anxious.  For me traveling is wonderful, fun, and so humbling.  But very occasionally it can be overwhelming to have to be somewhere with a tight timeline; which is often the case when touring.
It’s great to be in so many new places. However, sometimes a hotel room just doesn’t feel as homey as the living room that may be 1,000+ miles away.  So when I’m out on the road seeing some of the most beautiful places and I start to miss home or get a little overwhelmed I try some the these techniques!
  1. Take a deep breath.  Nothing feels as good as taking a few deep breaths to help ground you.

Travel2. Give yourself a little break!  Sometimes a whole day to relax is more time than you have to spare, so even a half hour or 20 minutes to do a little meditation, go for a walk.  Even playing a game on your phone can recharge you when you feel overwhelmed!

Travel3. Do something familiar. I like to watch my favorite vloggers on YouTube. It’s familiar and distracting all at once!  But maybe you like hiking or being outdoors.  Almost every city has a park nearby where you can stretch your legs and take in some nature.

Travel4. Find something familiar – a drink you often enjoy at home, for me this would be earl grey tea or unsweetened iced tea. Or, if you can’t make your favorite meal or drink, find a spot that you know sells something you enjoy from home. Perhaps your favorite Starbucks beverage!

Travel5. Bring home with you! A favorite perfume, a cozy sweater or blanket, or a piece of jewelry you can wear all the time.

Today would have been my beloved Audrey’s sweet 16th birthday. She crossed the rainbow bridge on 5/4/22 and my life will never be the same. She will always be the sweetest, most loyal, perfect girl.

This photo was taken on Damien’s first trip to Nashville. We went to find a waterfall that was two hours away and while there ran into a photographer. He offered to take some pictures of us, without knowing it was Damien’s birthday. He emailed them to us a day later. It’s still one of my favorite pictures. #happyvalentinesday @damien_keeter 💕
