FAQ is: How do you stay healthy when on the road?
Today’s Destination is: New Hampshire
Today’s Mistake- The city was closed.
Travel Advice: Culture rules for solo travelers
how your travels have changed you. You mention some things: treating flight attendants and fellow travelers kindly, what is the appropriate length for pants, how to behave in public baths. What else? How about things like how your priorities have changed, how you are more daring and how more careful. How you roll with the punches when you get a rash or forget something. How you are very willing to try certain foods, but not turtle blood. Consider including more introspection. It doesn't have to be lengthy, but it's something I would like to read about. And if you decide to do this, do it in the same place for each destination.
FAQ: How do you stay healthy when on the road? Do you have any tips?
Answer: Get your immunizations for travel prior to departure. Keep a record, in case you are asked for proof of immunization prior to entering a new country.
I asked a molecular biologist, who knows cell therapy what she does to stay healthy.
When you travel, she suggests to bring immunity boosters such as: anibiotic prescription tinctures, oregano oil, kickass immunity found at Whole Foods, grape seed extracts, cats claw, and activated charcoal in case you ingest something poisonous.
She explains that this charcoal helps leach toxic ions from the body. Food poisoning can ruin your trip.
She explained that we lose production of certain vitamins as we get older. She recommends tincture over pills.
She says, “If I am feeling down its a quick pickup for travel.”
I am not a medical doctor, so ask yours for advice.
Today’s destination: New Hampshire
New Hampshire is the Granite State. The slogan is Live Free.
Leave no trace, protect the great outdoors.
If you’re looking to take a day trip, or travel swiftly by plane, New Hampshire makes it easy to plan for your transportation. With two major airports, and smaller regional airports across the state, you can fly directly into New Hampshire. Both of my cousins attended UNH. It’s got to be a great place to visit if you are traveling in New Hampshire, located in the eastern part of the state in Durham.
My friends Don and Enid Larsen live in Dunbarton, New Hampshire, which is between Manchester and Concord. They love the rural area and the population is about 3000 people in the town. You may visit this town and find some great people live here, many who own a John Deere vehicle.
