4 Tips for Healthy Travel

4 Tips for Healthy Travel

Travel is back. It's pretty exciting; maybe more so for those lucky Aussies who actually have tickets to a European summer (if only that were me). After a 2 year hiatus it's easy to forget just how uncomfortable a long haul flight in economy can be. I get terrible restless legs so for me extended periods of sitting does not bode well but I have learnt over the years a few little tricks that make these journeys much more bearable. Firstly the trigger ball comes in my carry on. Yep that's right and it's probably the most important item in my handbag. Why?
