Grata on the Go: Travel Routine

Summer is a wonderful time to travel, explore, and create memories with friends. Several of you have asked: how can one travel while maintaining routine, consistency, and balance? This summer I've traveled from NYC to Chicago, DC, Lake Waramaug, Long Island, Nantucket, and Denver.

Throughout my trips, I have tried to incorporate the following practices to help me feel more grounded while away:

2. On the day of travel, I typically have 4 steps to optimal hydration:
