Honestly, is there a worse time to get sick then when you’re on vacation?

All you want is to enjoy your trip and make the most of your time. And then, boom! A cold. Or worse. You’re away from the comforts of your home, more effort is needed just to get simple remedies, and visiting the doctor you’re familiar with isn’t an option. It has happened to all of us.

On the bright side, there are precautions we can take to reduce our chances of getting sick while traveling. I used to come home sick after every single trip, without fail. After I started doing these things, I almost never spend the last few days of my trip coughing and sneezing, and then confined to my bed for several days after getting home.

Here are my top ten tips on how to not get sick while traveling!

I won’t ask you if you love flying as much as I do.

That’s kind of a stupid question. For most people, flying is a necessary evil that must be dealt with if you want to travel farther than a few hundred miles from your house. Sometimes, we don’t even have a choice as to whether we go on a trip or not. And being forced into it makes flying that much worse. Don’t worry, I get it.

The good news is that there are plenty of things you can do while you are flying to keep yourself comfortable, happy, and not feeling like your life is slipping away as you sit belted down in a speeding metal tube. This is my own personal comprehensive guide for everything I do on airplanes. I keep these activities and necessary items ready to go at a moment’s notice. Any time I need to fly, I have a selection of activities capable of filling much more time than I actually have. The flight is over in no time. (Too fast, sometimes.)

If you’ve ever wondered what you could possibly do to not feel so hopeless, or are just looking for some new inspiration, this list is for you!
