Self-Care for a Happier Travel
In the past summer, I went on a solo backpacking trip across Kerela’s breathtaking scenery. I set out to explore hidden routes, gorgeous beaches, and towering mountains, full of enthusiasm and anticipation. But even while I was excited about the prospect of adventure, I quickly realized that traveling alone had its own set of difficulties, especially when it came to taking care of myself.
I realized the importance of prioritizing my well-being, amid the excitement of exploration, as I drove through rugged terrain and encountered unexpected obstacles. I found myself struggling to keep up with the demanding path, exhausted and drained. That’s when I realized that to make the best of my travel, I need to focus on my self-care also.
