I’m new to the travel side of consulting and I want to enjoy it, not just survive it. I love the city I’m staffed in and my team’s great, but bouncing between two places every week is starting to wear on me. Any tips on how to make a second city feel like home without completely abandoning your actual home?

Start to develop a routine while you’re there (e.g, workout classes or running routes, coffee/ restaurants, same hotel). Also make the travel part of it as stress free as possible (e.g., separate set of toiletries for your suitcase, investing in noise canceling headphones, getting Nexus)

Good attitude to embrace this new lifestyle. Like B1 said, try as much as possible to build a routine and stay in the same place in the second city. Try to make friends with the reception staff and ask if they can save the room you’re staying in for you for when you come (or at least a room with the same layout).

Where do you travel to?

Doctor says I have it, but I honestly don’t believe them. I don’t eat cane sugar (not even in sauces), gluten, dairy, or soy.

The condition doesn’t run in my family (and my mom has 4 sisters w/kids-good sample size) (cont’d in comments)
