Relaxation & Balance
TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @CaitlinKellyNYC @RTWBarefoot @CharlesMcCool @FunInFairfax So I've learned #TRLT
A3 I either get up early in the morning to get some work done before everyone wakes up, or work after everyone has gone to sleep. That usually leaves sufficient time for exploring during daylight hours. #family #travel #TRLT
RT @SidewalkSafari: A1. Taking a walk and getting some fresh air is how I stay refreshed and balanced on my travels. Here's a shot from a w…
Q3: How do you maintain a balance between your own needs and external pressures (family, job, etc) when you travel?

replying to @_emmajane_ @_emmajane_ @FunInFairfax The joy of life is we have years to answer that question :) Try new things, experiment, test yourself :) #TRLT
replying to @TheWildPassage @TheWildPassage @marcellinho_nl If I like a particular spot, I can easily sit there for 30 minutes or an hour. Lovely. #TRLT
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @marcellinho_nl A1. I try really hard not to over-schedule & sometimes just let the day take me where it will. #TRLT https://t.co/iXz13dyEQ5
RT @Travel_boomer: A2 My most relaxing place is always the woods. I've been in most of the world's great forests, but I'm just as happy to…

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @FunInFairfax Thanks, yeah it works well in late autumn when the sun gets very low on the horizon. Did some pics like this a few days before and the this one came out of a series during an after christmas family dinner walk :-) #trlt
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @FunInFairfax A3: very selfishly...husband and I are both 100% freelance so we clear our skeds and tell anchor clients we are away. As a Canadian in NY, I see the toll that a “working vacation” takes. Not for us! #trlt
A3 while I’m on holiday literally nothing else matters other than enjoying my break #TRLT
replying to @dipyourtoesin @dipyourtoesin @FunInFairfax Plus leaving room for flexibility if it is needed. #TRLT
replying to @FunInFairfax @FunInFairfax @Touchse @CharlesMcCool @ShenandoahNPS @VisitVirginia Thank you! Once it gets closer to the date we definitely ask for recommendations. 😄 #TRLT
replying to @TourDatesTravel
@TourDatesTravel @marcellinho_nl Oh yes. I am not a planner; "knowledge is power" but I don't need to assess every little detail! #TRLT
[I only decided where to get off the train this evening while I was on it!]
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel A3 Since #travel is my "work" there's no need to balance that. And time with family is always welcome. A little solitude and a lot of outdoor fun = balance and happiness for me. #TRLT
replying to @ajaykaul10 @ajaykaul10 @Touchse @CharlesMcCool @FunInFairfax Lovely -- interesting that you showed the whole scene rather than zooming in on the gate #TRLT

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @FunInFairfax A3. Well, I'm lucky to have a career that requires travel and allows for full-time travel. My family is small, just an old-ish son and a young-ish mom who are very flexible with when I see them and are always avail by phone! #TRLT
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @marcellinho_nl My son's old room (when he still lived at home) has a wallpaper that looks SO much like this photo, it's almost unreal. No wonder, this felt familiar and brought comfort immediately. This could be from FInland as well. Love the light in this shot! #TRLT
replying to @companach @companach @USGulfCoast @LindaPeters64 @CharlesMcCool @FunInFairfax @VisitMSCoast @visitms @JustinLaurenXO @Touchse @McCoolTravel Plenty of place that I need to visit! #TRLT

replying to @dipyourtoesin @dipyourtoesin @TheTravelCamel @FunInFairfax A3 That is exactly it, time for work, time for you, time for sightseeing/activities, time for family, stop them from bleeding into each other. #TRLT
Q4: Tell us an unconventional way you experience relaxation and balance on your journeys, share a photo! #TRLT A4: learning to slackline (her) playing the ukulele (him) #travelTuesday
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @FunInFairfax A3: When I travel, I don't think about work but definitely be in constant touch with my family. I try to maintain a diary for my personal thoughts while traveling and just like that a subtle line is automatically drawn. #TRLT
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @bemusedbackpack @marcellinho_nl Which is why it’s essential to travel with someone who moves at your pace or is very happy to split up daily so they can stroll while you sprint #trlt
#TRLT A3: Also.
Even when I had a job, I very much kept my job 'in the office'. I never took work home, refused to work *from* home (because I knew I just ... couldn't!), and made some very clear deliniations in my life.
Now I'm freelance, it's hell, btw. :p
replying to @Touchse @Touchse @FunInFairfax A3: Check your email and notifications for a half hour in the morning after waking up and a half hour before going to bed, at night #TRLT

replying to @USGulfCoast @USGulfCoast @LindaPeters64 @CharlesMcCool @FunInFairfax @VisitMSCoast @visitms @JustinLaurenXO @TheTravelCamel @Touchse @McCoolTravel The #USGulfCoast, particularly along the Gulf Coast of Florida is fantastic for a road trip! https://t.co/w8t2uYehlk #TRLT
replying to @_emmajane_ @_emmajane_ @FunInFairfax It's a question of compromise. And I bet you're much happier now :) #TRLT
replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip @RTWBarefoot @FunInFairfax Much easier to be away from home now in Internet age - it was so much harder back in the 80s and 90s! #TRLT

replying to @SidewalkSafari @SidewalkSafari @TheTravelCamel @CharlesMcCool @FunInFairfax Hey! I also used to live in San Francisco and this was always my go to place. Which was your best place there? #TRLT
replying to @Touchse @Touchse @LindaPeters64 @marcellinho_nl My son is off on his first solo adventure in Oregon right now! So proud! ☺️ #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @CharlesMcCool @FunInFairfax A2: Relaxing for me would be picking up a good book and reading with an incredible backdrop like this - Kazbegi, Georgia #trlt
A3: Schedule time for real world social and doing nothing while traveling. Getting off the grid helps too. #TRLT
replying to @SidewalkSafari @SidewalkSafari @USGulfCoast @LindaPeters64 @CharlesMcCool @FunInFairfax @VisitMSCoast @visitms @JustinLaurenXO @Touchse @McCoolTravel Would be keen to do this one day. #TRLT
replying to @CaitlinKellyNYC @CaitlinKellyNYC @RTWBarefoot @CharlesMcCool @FunInFairfax That's the best way to embody a Parisian, although we prefer pain au chocolat over the espressos! 😄#TRLT
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @CharlesMcCool @FunInFairfax Hey, there are fairies in those woods ... #TRLT
replying to @CaitlinKellyNYC @CaitlinKellyNYC @bemusedbackpack @RTWBarefoot @marcellinho_nl I've got the best of both worlds. No kids and a husband who does all the heavy lifting with our travel planning :-) #TRLT
replying to @FunInFairfax @FunInFairfax @TheTravelCamel I don't know, I definitely seperate the travel that is for work (ie press trips) and travel that is just for me #TRLT
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @FunInFairfax A3 Vacations keep me sane and help me get rid of worklife stress. When I'm back, I plan the next to keep me dreaming. #trlt
A4. I love grand views and just spending hours looking at those. This is Greenland's Eqip Sermia glacier and I spend days looking at ice calvings 💙💙💙 It never gets boring😀
