Sticking to a New Year\u2019s resolution while traveling might seem like a challenge, but a new environment can actually help you break a bad habit or build healthier ones. You can see the sights while getting in your cardio with an active adventure<\/a> or take a cooking class with a local<\/a> to eat healthy on vacation. One of the most popular New Year\u2019s resolutions is to travel more<\/a>, but you don\u2019t have to forgo the rest of your globetrotting goals with these tips and tricks.<\/p>\n

Exercise while Traveling<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

After celebrating New Year’s Eve in an exotic locale<\/a>, it may seem daunting to get moving again. But\u00a0a simple way to maintain your exercise routine while traveling is to book a hotel with a pool<\/a> or gym. You can also see the sights and stay fit with a tour that keeps you active. Take in the iconic Golden Gate Bridge like a local during a 6-mile (9.6-km) guided run in San Francisco<\/a> or pedal between monuments on a bicycle tour of Berlin<\/a>. Even a walking tour to see the famous fountains of Rome<\/a> can help you rack up your step count and keep your New Year’s resolution on track.<\/p>\n

Save Money on Travel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

One of the top ways to save money while traveling<\/a> is to book smart by bundling your flight, hotel, and car rental together. You can also save a pretty penny by traveling during the off season, such as journeying to Sydney<\/a> between May and August or to Cancun<\/a> from May to November. Not only can you find better rates on hotels<\/a> and activities<\/a>, you can usually avoid the crowds of tourists that swell during the busiest times of year.<\/p>\n

Eat Healthier While Traveling<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

If your New Year’s resolution is to eat healthier, then consider taking a cooking class on your next vacation to expand your culinary repertoire. Learn from a local how to prepare delicious and healthy Greek cuisine<\/a> at home. Many of the spices in Thai dishes<\/a> are said to have cancer fighting properties, while the Japanese diet<\/a> is often linked to longevity. And the best part is you get to eat your mouthwatering creations at the end of the lesson.<\/p>\n

Reduce Stress on Vacation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

The last thing you want is for your vacation to cause more stress. Consider signing up for TSA pre-check to breeze past long security lines at the airport. When you arrive, be sure to carve out some me-time. Feel your stress melt away under the oiled hands of a skilled masseuse during a culturally immersive spa experience<\/a>. Detoxify in hot springs surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of lime stone terraces in Turkey<\/a> or soak while the Northern Lights dance overhead in Iceland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Read More Books During Your Getaway<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Turn vacation time into reading time. Lay out your towel, slather on some sunscreen, and crack open the latest bestseller in South Beach, Florida<\/a>. Away from the beach, bibliophiles can cozy up with a good book in the Reading Room at the British Museum in London<\/a> or check out the modern Library of Alexandria<\/a> in Egypt. If you\u2019re a fan of fantasy or historical fiction, then head to Edinburgh, Scotland to sip coffee in one of JK Rowling\u2019s favorite writing spots<\/a> or relive your favorite scenes from Diana Gabaldon\u2019s Outlander<\/em> series<\/a> in their real-life locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
