No matter where you’re traveling, hydration is a super important factor in your health during your trip. Even when you travel to a colder climate, it’s easy to lose track of time and forget to drink enough water. It’s super important to make sure you stay hydrated because it will help with digestion, energy, and other important functions of the body. Here are some of our best tips to stay hydrated while traveling.

Drink Electrolytes on the Plane

Did you know that your body get extra dehydrated when you’re on an airplane? This is why it’s super important to drink during the flight. If you don’t want to constantly get up for the bathroom, it’s a good idea to drink something with electrolytes so that it’s easier for your body to absorb the water!

Always Order Water at Meals

If you like to order a cocktail or wine with dinner while traveling, remember to also order a glass of water! This will help your body recover from a long day of moving and exploring your destination. (Not to mention, drinking water with your cocktails will help reduce the chances of a hangover the next morning!)

Bring a Reusable Water Bottle

Nothing reminds you to drink water throughout the day quite like carrying around a reusable water bottle. Bring a lightweight, easy-to-carry bottle so that you don’t forget to hydrate!

Bring your own reusable water bottle.

Many people don’t think to bring their reusable water bottle on vacations, but it can actually save you so much money! Almost every airport has reusable water bottle refill stations, so you’ll get unlimited free water. Just make sure to empty the bottle before you go through security, and refill it after you get through. Bringing your water bottle will also save you money for the rest of the trip, as you can bring it with you wherever you go.

Bringing your own water bottle doesn’t just save you money, it also saves the environment. It’s super important to reduce waste as much as you can, as traveling often encourages more wasteful living. Bringing your own water bottle is a great and easy way to save money and the environment!

When walking through an exciting city—especially one that you’ve never seen before—it can be exhausting. You may walk around for hours, getting lost in cobblestone roads, various landmarks, and beautiful statues that you’ve never seen before. If you’re about to embark, make sure that you take a large bottle of water before you leave your hotel room.

This may seem like something obvious. Water is a no-brainer when you’re about to walk around a lot, right? Yes, but we tend to set our eyes on bigger prizes when traveling to foreign places. We assume that since we’re getting lunch at that fancy-looking diner, we’ll get our water fix there. Or perhaps we assume that we’ll get some frozen lemonade, or ice cream, on some exotic boardwalk. We forget about water because it’s just—for lack of a better word—a bit boring in the context of our trip.

But while our eyes are so focused on all the fun and games, it never hurts to have some water to sip on. As we walk from place to place, that extra water intake will make you feel so much better. And when you finally get home after such a long day, you’ll feel a lot healthier knowing that you drank an extra liter of water throughout the process.

Beach vacations are popular for a reason: they’re simply awesome. Traveling to see new places is enriching and mind-opening, but sometimes all you really need to lie on a beach chair with a book and get a fair dose of vitamin D. Now, we’re all for that! But if you don’t take the necessary precautions, beach vacations can also be your skin’s mortal enemy. It’s not even the short-term damages like getting sunburnt and going through a few days of soreness and chapped skin. The real risks are long-term, and it’s important that you do your best to minimize them in the present. So, what are three skin-protecting actions you should take on your nearest beach vacay?

Wear Sunscreen

You know how the famous song goes, right? So, it’s not only that “everybody’s free to wear sunscreen”, everybody has to wear sunscreen. Choose a reliable brand with at least 30 SPF and make sure to reapply every two hours.

Wear a Hat

Protecting your face and scalp from the sun is extremely important, and with bucket hats back in fashion, it shouldn’t be too hard to do. But if you’re not into that trend, a plain-old cap or a stylish wide brim will do just fine.

Drink Plenty of Water

Not orange juice, not diet coke, and not piña colada—water. The recommended amount of water you should consume when you spend a few straight hours in the sun is one glass of water every 20 minutes or so. You got this!

If you love sailing out on the open water, then you probably like to look for destinations where you’ll be able to indulge your boating hobby. Luckily, people have been using boats for millennia, so there are great places with boating opportunities all over the world. If you’re thinking about where to go on your next trip that will let you boat around, here are some of the best options.

Newport, Road Island

Boating is baked into the culture of Newport, whose harbor was the site of tons of boating history including the very first America’s Cup boat race in the 1930s. Today the area has jazz festivals, artisan stalls, fresh fish markets, and great restaurants as well as plenty of boating opportunities.

Cote d’Azur, France

We can’t stress it enough—don’t drink the tap water. Unlike in the U.S. where it’s sanitary, in Mexico, the water treatment, filtration, and purification standards aren’t as strict and the water can have parasites, bacteria, or viruses.

Only Drink Bottled Water

The only water you should be drinking is bottled, purified water. Hotels offer bottled water or large jugs of purified water and in general, bottled water is cheap in Mexico. If you’re buying from a store or restaurant, request “agua pura,” or “un bote de agua pura”.

Ice Cubes in Drinks

If you’re dining at a restaurant or hotel, most touristy ones use ice made from purified water. Be careful when getting ice water from market stands of food stalls, as they don’t always use purified water in their ice.

Brushing Your Teeth and Showering

Many Mexico residents brush their teeth with tap water, but they’ll rinse and spit, not swallow. You can do this, but we advice just using bottled water to brush your teeth. When showering, be sure to keep your mouth closed.

If you want to have a fun and memorable – and not traumatic – hiking experience, then you should pack your backpack carefully. Regardless of the place you are going to, there are important essentials you should bring on your adventure.

Extra bottle of water

Bringing with you an extra bottle of water is a must! Without enough water, your body will dehydrate and will not perform well. You could even get sick if you don’t consume enough fluid.

Extra food

You can get hungry and lost your energy in the middle of nowhere. So, it is better to have an extra banana, orange or a sandwich. But keep in mind bringing food that isn’t perishable.

Map and compass

In case the GPS doesn’t work on your phone, the old-school map and compass can help you with your orientation.

Flashlight and light

In case you got caught in the dark, a flashlight is a must-have item to see where you are stepping. As well as a light. The warmth of the fire can help you get worm or it can be used as a torch or signal for help.

First-aid kit

You can buy a prepacked first-aid kits for hikers or you can pack your own. Tissues, band aids, antiseptic cream for small cuts, paracetamol and anti-histamine tablets are the essentials in every hiker’s first-aid kit.

Knife or a multi-purpose tool

It is a versatile hand tool that combines several individual functions in a single unit: knife, reamer, bottle-opener-screwdriver-wire stripper and a can-opener-screwdriver.

If you want to have a fun and memorable – and not traumatic – hiking experience, then you should pack your backpack carefully. Regardless of the place you are going to, there are important essentials you should bring on your adventure.

Extra bottle of water

Bringing with you an extra bottle of water is a must! Without enough water, your body will dehydrate and will not perform well. You could even get sick if you don’t consume enough fluid.

Extra food

You can get hungry and lost your energy in the middle of nowhere. So, it is better to have an extra banana, orange or a sandwich. But keep in mind bringing food that isn’t perishable.

Map and compass

In case the GPS doesn’t work on your phone, the old-school map and compass can help you with your orientation.

Flashlight and light

In case you got caught in the dark, a flashlight is a must-have item to see where you are stepping. As well as a light. The warmth of the fire can help you get worm or it can be used as a torch or signal for help.

First-aid kit

You can buy a prepacked first-aid kits for hikers or you can pack your own. Tissues, band aids, antiseptic cream for small cuts, paracetamol and anti-histamine tablets are the essentials in every hiker’s first-aid kit.

Knife or a multi-purpose tool

It is a versatile hand tool that combines several individual functions in a single unit: knife, reamer, bottle-opener-screwdriver-wire stripper and a can-opener-screwdriver.
