Whether you’re flying all the way to India or road-tripping across North America, heading to new places can at times be as stressful as it is exciting. This is why it’s essential to have tools in your proverbial toolbox to allow you to stay Zen on your adventures. Here are three simple ways to inject some mindfulness into your travels.

Instagram Timeouts in Nature

One of the most anti-mindful temptations while you’re out there taking in exotic views and lounging at the chicest cafés is… Instagram, of course. It might seem like nothing can beat the shot of dopamine you’ll get out of uploading another story of yourself duck-facing next to a famous monument, but the truth is quite the opposite. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with flexing your experiences online! But it’s healthy to take a breather from social media occasionally and lean into the arms of Mother Nature. Find a quiet spot, turn off your phone, and close your eyes. Breathe in the fresh air and allow the rustle of leaves to be your sole (and soul’s) soundtrack.

Tech Detox With Mindful Walking

Don’t worry, no one said you have to disconnect from tech for the entire trip. But how about a mindful tech detox? When exploring a new city or a picturesque village, put the phone on silent, slip it into your backpack, and go for a mindful walk. Notice the colors, the smells, and the local street art. It’s like a walking meditation—being present in the moment without constantly checking for notifications. Plus, you might stumble upon a hidden gem you’d miss if your nose was buried in Google Maps.

Breathwork at Sunrise or Sunset

Sunrise and sunset possess a special kind of magic, making them perfect for mindfulness practice. Find a spot with a decent view, where you could really see the light changing, and let the breathwork begin. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the changing sky. Inhale travel-induced freedom and exhale stress. If you’re up for it, bring a cinnamon chai latte with you to sip on between breathwork sessions.

Kayla Nielsen is an Instagram-famous yoga teacher whose non-profit Go Light Our World (GLOW) hosts retreats and events around the world in an effort to raise funds for charitable projects that fight poverty. After spending years on the road and struggling with some health issues of her own, Kalya decided to open Still Salty Escape, an eco-friendly resort and retreat space 20 meters from the beach near the city of El Viejo on Nicaragua’s northwest coast. 

She and her partner Alix designed the space with community in mind. It sleeps up to 16 people and includes three shared and one private cabañas, which are all named after local fruits and feature views of the property’s garden as well as the ocean.

Still Salty grows much of its own organic produce and has yoga and meditation spaces as well as a massage area. 

The resort hosts several of its own yoga and wellness retreats throughout the year, but can also be rented for private retreats and events such as weddings. It’s the perfect spot for yogis, surfers, or anyone in search of, well, an escape. Located 3.5 hours from the nearest airport, we can’t think of a better place to get away from it all.

If you’re more on the spiritual side, you might enjoy traveling to a meditation retreat, which is a great way to combine one’s spiritual practice with one’s love of traveling and seeing the world. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, here are some of the destinations you can consider going to a meditation retreat in.

Bali

An island paradise, Bali has become a favorite choice for people looking to unwind and connect with nature. Meditation retreats in Bali are a great way to incorporate stunning nature into your meditation, with views of mountains, forests, and rice paddies bringing a peaceful joy to your heart.

India

An obvious choice for a meditation retreat is India, which is a place where many traditions such as Buddhism and Hinduism have practiced meditations for ages. Many meditation retreats will be located on mountain slopes where you can feel your soul expand.

Hawaii

Similar to Bali, many spiritual people gravitate to Hawaii as a place where they can slow down, enjoy nature, and focus on their own growth. As such, there are many great meditation retreats in Hawaii that will help you find your center.
