Business Trips are often very specific, goal oriented and one wants to be completely focused. But that does not mean it has to be stress oriented. If you are confused about what you can do on a business trip? without making it a vacation, but after reading this article you can make your evenings a time for yourself and catch up on the beauty surrounding near you. Self- care has no holiday! So, make the best use of your time. Plan ahead and strategically enjoy after all it's a Business trip.
1.Find Nature Walking Trails for your walk/run.
Come on! Get up, gear yourself up for the day ahead by taking a morning walk and watching a beautiful sunrise. Find a nature's trail for your walk or run, avoid the conventional workout facilities. Before you leave for your trip look up the nearest forest trails/beach/Treks nearest to your hotel, easier to manage your timings. Go out and explore the scenic trails where you can explore and enjoy the company of nature, don't forget your pair of Nikes!! An activity before will help you to refresh your mind and get you preparing for that long meeting you have been anxious about. There are scenic spots in the city which is worth trekking/walking to watch the sunset if you make it out of the meeting on time.
2.Add a splash of luxury to your trip
Don't wait for a bachelor party or a special date, hire a limousine for a night in town with your colleagues and clients visiting a rooftop bar or lounge for drinks and dancing. People don't like depending on the local transportation facilities, especially when they are on working trip, a beautiful long drive, gives you a time to prepare. Often during Business trips, you don't have the time to figure out the routes to see the city. So, always pre-book your car from any good car rental in your area, like I prefer to go with the best Denver to vail car service to my work. Party in style and hire luxury cars and limo so go ahead and book yourself a ride before your trip, you can treat yourself to travelling in luxury. Set up your playlist and enjoy the vibe of driving around and outskirts of the city. Thank goodness for Google Maps though.
3.Look for artistic cafes to enjoy a quiet evening
What is better than a glass of wine after the meeting and quiet time to catch up on your personal work and interests. Look for artistic local cafes for a little me time and enjoy the art, history and vibe of the place you are in with a good conversation with locals or a good book. Each city and region has its own history, if you are a nerd like my husband you would love it, if you read a little on history of the place before taking the trip. Easier to identify the art cafés from those chain of cafés or coffee places present in most of the cities of that region. These artistic cafes or famous coffee places are usually run by locals and are established in view to present the unique expression to their relation to the city or region in their ambience or cuisine.
4.Find a famous street for local cuisine and shopping
Malls and restaurant chains are so outmoded, traverse shopping streets and explore local cuisine. Don't just sit and think that what to do in the evenings on a business trip?
Get in the mood for enlivening your taste buds and shopping from local manufacturers and artisans. Specially in this new world order, support the local businesses as much as possible. There are always some famous fabrics, jewelry or pottery available for your loved ones back at home. Time to score brownie points by getting them a gift, they will know you were thinking about them too while enjoying some lip-smacking food, trust me you will always find what local food you have to try, just ask anyone from the host of friendly local faces around you.
5.Enjoy the service of spa/ massage.
Last but not the least to end your business trip, have a relaxing massage/spa facility available in your hotel. You don't have to go home and then collect your energy again for the work ahead. You can rejuvenate yourself by availing this facility or any local famous spa/massage place. Its preferable to always look for the timings of spa/massage place if available in your hotel or nearest to your hotel. If I don't have any time for spa I leave early for airport and avail the services of foot massage or head massage on airport. I love a nice massage before travel. Catch up with work on flight and conclude your business trip. Voila! ready family time after a productive and self-care business trip.
