Travel:  One thing we spend money on that actually enriches our lives!

To make your travels a bit more enjoyable, these are the Essentials our team recommends;

1. Trip Music Playlist-Whether you use Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora or any other means, a good playlist can set the tone for an amazing trip!
2. In addition to your essential playlist, think about anything you may need to assist you with sleep. The sound of rain, ocean waves, or even city sounds depending on what you are used to, the ambient noise may be something to help you sleep! We recommend plugging in your phone to charge while you have audio play overnight AND if you are streaming audio, perhaps you can download these sounds in order to not require WIFI connectivity or use any data.
3. Food/Snack/Meal Planning-Whether you are planning for health conscious reasons, dietary restraints, or you foodie culinary dreams, planning what you intend to eat on a trip can not only make aspects of the trip easier but it can ensure that as your physical environment changes, you can control certain aspects of how your physical body responds.
4. Sleep-Whether you are able to sleep on planes, trains, or in automobiles is often a matter of planning...do you need a pillow, neck wrap, or blanket to have restful sleep, because, Sleep is Essential!
5. Supplements-or other health treatments-Don't forget your routine, disrupting aspects of your daily routine can have negative, long lasting effects.
6. Exercise-Whether you are planning a trip filled with hiking, shopping, or relaxing, if you plan for exercise you will have the wellness benefits of your physical exertion as well as an additional mood booster that also should assist you in having restful sleep!
7. List your own top ten things you want to do on your trip!  Then cut off the bottom 3 or 4, this will allow you to fully enjoy the most important aspects of the trip you had envisioned.
8. Schedule you days but leave room for unstructured spontaneity and NEW experiences.
9. Ask your friends and family that you are traveling with what they want to makes sure you plan together.
10. Don't forget to pack your essentials, to assist you with your days!  Make a list and check it twice!
