7. Pack Meals and Snacks
Avoid unhealthy, greasy, processed food while traveling by packing your own meals and snacks. Bringing healthy food from home ensures you know exactly what goes into your food and prevents you from spending money on food that doesn’t even taste good! Before you pack a Tupperware of sloppy soup, make sure you check out the rules to make sure you don’t get hassled at airport security. Also be cautious about traveling with fresh fruits, vegetables or meat and dairy products as there are many restrictions about bringing these into other countries. Make sure you declare any food products upon arrival! If you have some favorite packaged snacks like protein bars, beef jerky, or nuts, you could stash some extras in your checked luggage to have once you arrive at your destination.
8. Walk Every Day
Exploring your destination on foot is an amazing way to sneak in some exercise while traveling. Grab a map, get lost, get found, and take in the sights, smells, and sounds of where you are. This is a great way to find hidden gems that aren’t in the travel guides. Depending on where you travel, you may want to consider restricting walking and exploring to daylight and enlisting a travel companion to be your walking buddy to double up on safety.
9. Rent a Bike
Cover more ground while torching calories by renting a bike. Many major cities have bike share programs, or you could contact a local bike store to inquire about bike rentals. Grab a bike map of the city, research day trips and pack a picnic, and get exploring. If you’re traveling for fun and have an open schedule, you could even research bike tours – many cities offer them and are a great way to cover a large distance in a short amount of time while avoiding motorized vehicles.
