Whenever you travel by plane or have to travel for a long time by car, train, bus, you start to feel tired due to jet lag and limited space around you. But you can avoid this. Use our tips and you will feel great no matter the length of your trip.

Steps

1. 1 Try to avoid additional stress. Prepare for your trip in advance, especially if it is a long trip. Then you will not be lost on the road.Pack all your belongings well in advance and leave enough time to check if the paperwork is in order and to lock the house. If you did it in a hurry, then during the trip you will now and then return your thoughts to the unfinished, and this is very exhausting. So make sure everything is done. Also, take some extra time to get to the departure point of your chosen transport, and when traveling by car, to get to your destination. Spend the rest of your time usefully - read something or just relax in anticipation of adventure.
2. 2 Get a good night's sleep before the trip. Besides, it would be nice to take coffee with you.
3. 3 Choose clothes that are both comfortable and stylish at the same time.
   • Try on sweatpants, they will look good and feel very comfortable at the same time. You can pick up both female and male options. If this kind of clothing is not to your liking, go to the tourist shops - there is always something suitable for the occasion.
   • Do not wear too warm clothes, but bring, for example, a shirt with you (it is often cold on planes).
4. 4 Wear neutral clothing and accessories. All items in the wardrobe should be interchangeable.
5. 5 Never wear new boots when traveling, they won't get you far.
   • Choose shoes that are easy to remove. It is possible that you will have to remove it at the airport (for security reasons).
   • Wear socks so your feet won't freeze (and there won't be any odor problems when you take off your boots). Choose socks that absorb moisture, such as Cool-Max® or bamboo socks.
6. 6 Take care of your skin during your trip. Traveling is often climate change, or at least being in a car or plane with no access to fresh air. Take a moisturizer or spray with you to keep your skin from dry and pale. This is important for both guys and girls, so don't be shy - a moisturizer is for everyone.
   • Bring a bottle of water, such as Evian (often used by models and celebrities), and a few drops of lavender oil. Spray it on your face to refresh your skin.
   • If you are on a long flight, use a moisturizing night mask. In the morning, just wash it off and apply a moisturizer to your face. It will look much better.
   • Don't forget about hand cream. Pick your favorite scent, it will greatly help you to relax.
7. 7 Reduce odors after a long journey. Sitting in one place or not doing normal activities can lead to unusual odors. An easy way to fix this:
   • Freshen your breath. Eat mints for freshness and brush your teeth to get rid of food stuck in your teeth.
   • Do not smoke. The smell of cigarettes is difficult to leave and will annoy your fellow travelers. As a result, you yourself will feel bad.
   • Try to avoid alcohol when traveling, especially if you are traveling by air. It will not help you at all, but will only negate the opportunity to sleep an extra hour or two. Plus, it will dry out your skin and leave you with stale breath and enlarged pores. You can of course have a glass, but it's best to do this only during landing.
   • Take your favorite perfume with you, but only use it at the end of the trip. After all, some people are sensitive to odors, and yours can make them disgusted, if it is too tart.
8. 8 The best scent is the scent of purity. Wipes can really help during the flight.
9. 9 If you have dry eye, use artificial tears. For dry nose, use special solutions.
   • For women, it will be appropriate to use panty liners. And during your period, you should regularly change your sanitary napkin or tampons to avoid unpleasant odors and the risk of infection.Do not forget to bring the required amount of hygiene products with you.
10. 10 Get your hair comfy. If you have long hair, loose it, or vice versa, collect it in a braid or ponytail. Girls with shorter hair should simply keep their hair combed and tidy.
    • Take a small container of hair conditioner with you and apply it before you arrive. Or try another method to keep your hair from frizzing. This will be especially true if you are driving from a cold climate to an area with high humidity.
11. 11 Don't wear too much makeup. You can afford a little lip gloss and a little shadow on the eyelids (to create a "healthy look"). At the end of the trip, you can add makeup, but don't overdo it until you are back in a comfortable room with good mirror and lighting.
12. 12 Sleep if you can. A little sleep on the way will work wonders for you, you will feel much better when it comes time to leave the vehicle. Even a simple sitting with your eyes closed will give you strength.
    • If the place is too noisy, and you cannot sleep, even using earplugs and a sleep mask, then you should not force yourself to fall asleep. Then you will only focus more on the source of the noise. Try to simply distract yourself in such a situation, and not punish yourself with exhausting attempts.
    • If you have the option of taking a train ride that has sleeping places, take this option without hesitation. This will help you stay asleep and arrive refreshed. In fact, train travel may be the best option for your body! If you're traveling in Europe by train, look for great first class deals.
13. 13 Carry a bottle of water with you. This expresses self-care, which also gives rise to a sense of confidence.
    • Drink water while traveling, not sugary drinks or alcohol. This will give you the moisture you need without making you feel unwell or even sleepy.
14. 14 Eat only healthy foods. For many, this means avoiding airline-served food. Pack some groceries and take them with you on the plane. When traveling by car, boat, train or bus, it is also a good idea to take healthy food with you. After all, it is not known whether you will be able to find a good place to eat on the road. But if the route is known in advance, then you can look for good places with healthy food in advance, for example, via the Internet. Healthy food list:
    • Sandwiches with your favorite toppings;
    • Fruits that do not spoil quickly (apples, oranges and bananas);
    • Nuts and seeds;
    • Small salad in a container;
    • Carrots and celery.
    • If you are traveling between states and crossing borders, then be aware that in some places quarantine rules require that you throw out all food leftovers. It depends on where exactly you are traveling. So search the internet for information first.
15. 15 Try to smile more and people will reach out to you.

Tips

• Chew gum or gum during takeoff to avoid stuffy ears.
• Choose a good suitcase that is comfortable to carry. Don't buy heavy bags. Luggage that you can easily take with you is much less annoying when traveling. Make sure the suitcase is secure and sturdy. For a bag, the best idea would be to have lots of pockets, but on condition that you know what and where.
• Set aside enough time for yourself to pack before leaving. This will allow you to sleep soundly the night before you leave.
• If you are driving yourself, plan more stops. Go outside more often, kick the ball and just relax.
• Walk around the airport and then you won't look exhausted.
• If you are traveling on water and are prone to seasickness, be sure to take your pills with you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.If you believe in homeopathic remedies, then use them, and if not, then get special pills for seasickness.
