I am definitely not the same traveler I used to be when I first started traveling regularly 3 years ago. Back then, I would sleep in uncomfortable positions on planes, trains, busses and would often end up having neck pains and back pains because of such poor ergonomics. I traveled so often and on such long, multi leg flights that carrying anything other than my personal item was a hassle (as I often forgot my travel essentials at home or would forget it where I was).

Since then, I have learned how to travel much more effectively, as well as take better care of my body while traveling. After many years of constant travels, I noticed that improper travel was really starting to wear down on my body both physically and mentally, so I have been taking extra steps to make sure I am giving my travel needs my full attention.

Couple new things I started doing?

• Moisturizer for the plane ride

• Snacks so I’m not starving

• Showing up to airport earlier so I’m not super stressed trying to catch my flight

• A better travel pillow

One of the biggest changes I made was switching to a much better and more effective travel pillow. In the past, I would lug around huge and bulky memory foam travel pillow. But, because it was so huge and bulky, I would always opt to not bring it and end up getting neck pains. When I do bring it, I always ended up losing it and forgetting it because I put it down so often. With my new TRTL Travel Pillow, I’m able to fit it easily in my purse and take it out only when I need it (in flight). It not only is super easy to put on, but is incredibly comfortable as it adjusts to the position that I sleep while in flight. As if it being simple and easy to put on + incredibly comfortable was not enough, after my flight, I can easily throw it in the laundry so that it is fresh and ready for my next trip! Can’t wait to continue traveling with my TRTL Travel Pillow!

What changes will you be making to your travels?
