Day 18 Traveling

I have many students who travel frequently, so today, I'm sharing some ideas that I provide them for traveling.

Packing for your trip:

·         Portable foldable insulated bag – in case your hotel does not have a fridge

·         Baggies of nuts, vitamins, protein powder etc.

·         Small George Forman Grill (optional – going the distance!)

·         Oatmeal single packets (if no microwave – you can run hot water through the coffee maker! )

·         Plastic forks, plates

·         Cans of tuna, chicken

·         Request hotels with microwaves and small fridges

Upon Arrival:

·         Go to a local grocery store!  If you can’t or don’t want to pack some of the above items, make it a priority to head to the grocery store upon arrival.

·         Purchase

o   Pre-made chicken, tuna and boiled eggs

o   Oatmeal

o   Protein powder

o   Milk

o   Pre-made veggies and salads

o   Nuts and sprouted bread

o   Hummus and veggies for snack

o   Light popcorn – if you have access to a microwave

·         Don’t be afraid to ASK!!!  If your room doesn’t have a microwave – maybe they have a room where they provide continental breakfast – usually a microwave can be found in there – or if there is a restaurant – ask to use theirs!

·         If no fridge – you have your portable insulated bag – grab some ice from down the hall and bam!  Refrigerator issue solved!

·         If you are going to be in meetings all day – pack your food and take it with you!  You never know what food options will be provided - so be prepared!

Going Strong....ALL DAY LONG!
