Travel Tip #3: What's Your Best Time of Day?

Identify your best time of day -- and savor it.

Good morning?  Or night?

With an amputation and chronic health issues, I get frustrated by the unpredictable nature of my body. 

It's taken me 14 years (and lots of good therapy!) to realize this...

I don't just move through the world differently than able-bodied people.  

I move through TIME differently too.

Tasks take longer.

Experiences are more tiring.

Discomfort and uncertainty are constant travel companions.  

My attention is often divided between the outside world and the inside of my body.

There are trends though.

I'm usually at my best in the morning, so I'll wake up earlier -- especially when I travel -- to get outside, sip coffee, write in my journal, and soak up the world (and this new place) while it still glimmers with possibility.

If I'm planning an intense activity, like a tour or museum or class, I'll try to schedule it just after breakfast.  Then, whatever happens the rest of the day, the pressure's off!

Maybe your best time is midday.  Or evening.

However your timeclock ticks, identifying that rhythm -- and savoring it -- can amplify your travels wherever you are!

Walk on,
