How to be Present on Vacation

In response to yesterday’s post, my friend Alex shared a few thoughts and mentioned he likes to be as present as possible on vacation. It inspired me to compile a few tips on staying present while travelling:
1. Disconnect. Put your phone away especially when with others. Leave your laptop at home.
2. Focus on what you can control. I noticed that I’m most often taken out of the present moment when I’m stressed or angry about something. When you’re travelling abroad, it’s easy to have situations where I feel angry or stressed that I don’t have control over.
3. Meditate.
