Having a healthy and filling breakfast is really important, as it will keep you fueled for the whole day. Many times, hotels and hostels will have breakfast included, so you can take advantage of that, which will help keep your budget in check too.

Drink Lots Of Water

Drinking water is a great way to keep you full throughout the day, and staying hydrated while traveling is super important. Staying away from sugary drinks like soda is a really great way to stay on top of your health even while traveling.

Buy Groceries Every Once In A While

While eating local cuisine is an integral part of traveling, you can stay on top of your fitness goals by shopping for groceries and making your own meals every now and then. This will also save you a ton of money, especially if you are traveling long term. You can also incorporate local ingredients in your cooking in order to get to know the local culture. This is a great way to explore local markets and be introduced to new ingredients you might have never seen before.

Walk Everywhere

It can be really tempting to take a taxi or an Uber, but walking is great way to stay in shape and also gives you the chance to take in the local scenery. Unless it’s late at night, you’re in an unsafe area, or you’re in a hurry, try to walk to each of your destinations.
