How To Layer Winter Travel Pin 1

Layering clothes for weather below 70˚ is a skill I simply did not possess.

For people who live in cold climates, this is all basic stuff. But for people like me who live in warm climates, (and who start shivering when temperatures dip below 72°), figuring what exactly you should be wearing at different temperatures actually took me a lot of trial and error.

How To Plan A Vacation Pin 1

Trip planning is… a lot.

When I was a kid and my parents did all the trip planning, I thought planning a vacation contained two important steps. Step 1: Book Flight. And Step 2: Pack Suitcase. Ahh, the naivety.

Since then, I have planned enough trips, (and gotten enough things wrong,) to know that planning the perfect vacation is a system. With so many things to think about, (and being a planner at heart,) I take comfort in having a tried-and-true formula that guides me through the planning process. With this system, I can enjoy the trip itself and the planning process knowing that I left no stone unturned and no chargers unpacked.

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!
