It has helped us by connecting me to nextvacay.com and in the resource section, travel insurance. It is difficult to get insurance when you are over 70 and don’t need everything. Your tip about World Nomads led me to Trip Assure so thank you so much.

In easy case, I love this article! I don’t care about my weight so much as staying healthy and fit, and it’s easy to feel gross after getting caught up in the crazy drinking that’s often a part of backpacking

YES to the yoga, especially in Costa Rica!! I did it everyday, and it’s so great for helping with stress and digestion issues (in addition to being a wonderful, relaxing workout)

I’m a sucker when it comes to eating and traveling, I just love trying everything. Although when you stay in a place long enough, the cooking and preparing does come very important… and helps save money as well.

Nature is really breathtaking. And relaxing.

Walking has always been the one I rely on. Sometimes it’s not the easiest thing to go out of your way to find healthy eating spots. But to walk, we can all do it anytime.

We love finding out what the locals do to be active and stay in shape and follow their lead. Hiking is another favorite to keeping healthy!!

And I can’t agree enough about the walking everywhere – I remember how much weight I put on while I was travelling in Indonesia, and when I look back, I can’t believe how lazy I was on that trip. Walking a couple of blocks instead of taking a rickshaw would have made a difference, I believe.

I actually find that I naturally lose weight when I go traveling long-term. I think just because I drink loads of water, and am always walking around and exploring. I definitely do need to start hiking more often though!

It is so tempting to just eat eat eat when you go travelling. And I’ve got zero self control! :D

In places as diverse as Istanbul and Costa Rica I’ve gone to the local yoga studios. In Costa Rica I was treated to an outside studio from where I could hear the birds and look into the jungle! Also, other outdoor activities like swimming, kayaking etc when the environment permits are great ways to have fun and stay healthy.

It is very difficult to eat healthy while traveling in Brazil because the food is amazing everywhere we go! We have been pretty terrible at watching the calories while traveling but we are finally starting to get into the swing of things and we are figuring it out.
We make great use of the zip lock bags– and since you are correct– they are difficult to find overseas, we wash and reuse them. We also use tuppaware. When traveling by car we always pack a cooler with healthy snacks, drinks, and something with caffeine for the long drive. Airbnb also has a great list of places you can stay in Brazil with kitchens and some even have huge BBQ areas. It’s really nice to sit outside at the end of a long travel day and enjoy something we grilled as the sun sets!
Thanks again for all of the great tips. I also loved the recipe and will have to try it sometime soon.
Cheers!
Elizabeth

I love to walk everywhere I go when travelling, so it means I can afford to treat myself to a meal out in the evening or grab a waffle from a food cart on the street. I think you have to apply the same balance you do to your every day life when travelling.

Walking is definitely key for me. If it weren’t for walking it’d be disastrous. Too much delicious food and zero will power are not a good combo. Gonna have to remember to take plane food next time, that’s a great idea!

I don’t know why but I hadn’t really thought about farmers markets when I travel. I go to them all the time at home (we have 50 a week in my area). I will have to keep an eye out on my next trip. I also agree with the plastic bags, I am so thankful I brought a handful to Puerto Rico last fall and they were priceless.

I love staying places where you can cook for exactly this reason. It’s nice to go out to try the local foods, but when you’re out for every meal it can be hard to order the way you’d normally eat.

Thanks for the tips!

Let me add one from my side.. ” Go Slow on desserts and drinks” as it is so easy to succumb to the mouthwatering sweets around you ( specially in India) as well as go for another round of drinks at the bar.
