Introduction to Business Travel Life
There are two things that I have been passionate about most of my life, travel & fitness. Growing up I was in every sport possible and was fortunate enough to compete in two sports in college. After college I felt lost without a regular practice schedule, goals, and competition. After a month of “real-world” adult life (aka a desk job), I gained weight and was constantly stressed out. I realized my goals at the gym needed to focus on wellness and maintaining the healthy body I had worked so hard to achieve.
I did not meet my goals overnight but it became very clear that fitness was a necessity for me to do my best at work and truly feel grounded outside of work. I made a commitment to myself that I would prioritize my wellness every day through fitness and eating healthy food. Since I made this commitment I have developed a “no excuse” mentality. I have squeezed in workouts at all hours of the day and night, in various locations, with a full spectrum of activities -all with one goal in mind- fitness!
The other constant in my life has been travel. I was blessed with parents who loved to travel. We took all sorts of trips while I was growing up and I became very open minded about traveling. The college I attended was 3,000 miles away in Hawaii, which meant long flights to get home for the holidays and occasional trips to the West Coast for cross county meets.
Since college, the frequency of travel has only increased due to my job as a health care consultant. Constantly traveling for business has increased my awareness of the barriers to healthy travel. As a result, I am bringing my passion for fitness and travel together with the goal of empowering other business travelers to be healthy while they are on the road. I have learned so many ways to travel fit and I cannot wait to share my findings with you!
