What are Carolyn Scott's signature techniques for healthy travel?

Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager. I focus on a handful of core techniques any time I travel so I can enjoy the trip without sacrificing my health:

• Plan ahead, but stay flexible – I research vegan/healthy restaurants, markets, and hotels with kitchenettes so I can cook simple meals when needed.
• Prioritize sleep and hydration – I treat sleep as “trip insurance,” avoid late-day caffeine, stay hydrated, and skip unnecessary sleep meds.
• Smart eating, not perfection – I lean on whole foods, avoid heavy greasy meals before long days, watch portions (hara hachi bu: ~80% full), and limit sugary drinks and alcohol.
• Move daily – Walk everywhere, stretch on flights, and sneak in quick bodyweight workouts or resistance-band sessions.
• Immune and skin support – I pack vitamins, hand sanitizer, wipes, and sunscreen, and keep my hands and frequently touched items clean.

Would you like ideas tailored to a specific destination or type of trip (business, family, adventure)?
