Here's how you can balance work and life while traveling for partnership meetings and events.

Give yourself at least a day to rest and adjust to the local time zone before diving into events. Being well-rested boosts your energy, focus, and productivity. Also, consider staying an extra day after the conference to explore and enjoy the local attractions.

Block out specific times for work, meetings, personal activities, and relaxation. This helps prevent work from spilling into all your free time. Remember that you are on travel. It is important to take time for yourself. Check for public transport like metros, how to pay etc. or arrange transportation in advance. Make transport, accommodation, and all other necessary reservations in advance to minimize last minute scrambling. Make sure to check your destination, routes to meetings/ other places etc. Learn about local customs, attractions, and potential disruptions to your routine to anticipate and adjust accordingly. You need to pack light. Carry only essential items to avoid the stress of managing excess baggage.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Plan "down" time between busy days. Doesn't mean you do nothing but maybe you eat lunch poolside instead of doing one more tour. Maybe you alternate times poolside and in the suite in your "down" day. The body DOES need rest. And if you're working while traveling, DON'T work on that down day if you don't have to.

Balancing work and life while traveling for partnership meetings can be tough but it’s possible with some planning. Make sure to schedule breaks just like you do meetings, get enough rest and keep in touch with family and friends through video calls. Use travel time to relax or enjoy personal hobbies and set limits to keep work from taking over your entire day.

Build in time to enjoy the area. A day ahead to be prepared, map out where you need to go, walk or navigate the route you take. A day to process and strategize implementing information you received at your meetings and then a day to have fun, let loose, and explore the area! Both of these extra days allow you to continue making connections with others to build your network and brainstorm together.

This is very important, above anything your health and wellbeing should come first, don't ever compromise your sleep and remember to always give yourself a break do something get you relaxed, play a game or watch a movie, you know yourself best.

Self care is in many ways! If you don’t take care of yourself it WILL affect not only your personal life, but it will affect how you interact with people in your organization. This means not providing great customer service. We all have bad days and I know it can be tough, but it’s important to take care of yourself for you and everyone around you.

It’s important to remember that it’s ok to need some alone time even on vacation or away at a conference or meeting . It’s very healthy to step away from the fun and just be you, alone. Being social and fun is great, but it can be exhausting too, especially when tired, or if you are a bit introverted .

Use a travel agent, it is like having a personal advocate in your back pocket. You can use a travel agent to get the best specials, insider information on locations, where to eat, best shows to watch, and even the best times to go!
