Global Traveler’s June issue focuses on wellness. It is easy to forget as a frequent traveler the importance of one’s overall health. Wellness no longer is defined by travelers as simply a culinary choice or standard exercise equipment sitting in a florescent-lit room similar to that of a hospital; wellness includes mind, body and spirit. As I travel, I have noticed there are more and more resources available at my disposal to take care of my wellness overall.
These healthy initiatives are seen in the hotel, airline, cruise and even car service industries, and I am loving it. Within our latest edition of Global Traveler, our writers cover topics such as walking tours to stay physically engaged with the world around you, spas that have alternative methods to increase one’s well-being, and gadgets to assist with tracking one’s health to maintain it no matter where you roam. Travelers are more connected than ever, which increases stress on one’s overall well-being at times, so taking the time and having these tools readily available is a great resource for rejuvenation and maintenance of one’s self.
When traveling, I personally enjoy taking bubble baths, so a spacious tub is a delight. When it comes to fitness and physical wellness, I always take a jaunt around the area I am staying to stretch my legs and take it all in visually; that, coupled with healthy meal choices, is crucial for me. As far as my mental health, I enjoy chatting with those I love on the phone or meditating to a collection of soundscape music I regularly rotate in and out of my music queue. This re-centers me and encourages a peaceful slumber at the end of a work day. On a leisure basis, I enjoy a nice day on the lake with friends and family (as seen here in my glorious unicorn float!). Being well includes fun activities, too, and the travel industry continues to make strides to ensure they are ready to make it easier than ever to feel like your best self while on the go.
Travel is wonderful, but making sure you take the time to take care of yourself overall everyday will lead to a more productive and peaceful life. Stay well, my fellow travelers, and don’t forget to review all of the great editorial topics in this month’s edition of Global Traveler!
