I try use the same techniques to stay healthy if travelling or not.
Of course, it feels like I am not as in control of my environment, so getting worn down, may mean me getting sick on the road.
A few days ago, I wrote about eating while travelling. This is a big one for health.
Of course, all the best preparations won’t matter sometimes. You might get sick, especially if you travel long-term.
I’ve gotten sick many times on long-term trips (India, Poland, New Zealand, Romania). This forced me to slow down, take care of myself, and a few times goto a local doctor to get some medications to help. That in of itself was an interesting and learning experience and it is different from the USA, and much less expensive.
