No matter whether your trip is long or short, it is always tiring when traveling for business. The work of moving through airports, dealing with delays, handing your baggage, finding transportation at your destination city and getting to the meeting is a much greater stress than you ordinarily go through doing business at home. But when you add the problems introduced by jet lag, you face physical distress that can almost feel like you are becoming ill as your body reacts to the long-distance travel.

So it’s a good idea to have some techniques ready to use to prevent jet lag when you are traveling overseas or across several time zones. Yes, you can get jet lag just traveling from the east to west coast domestically. Jet lag comes from the change in time zones and the adjustment your body has to make to deal with the new time cycles in that time zone.

We are not aware of it but our bodies are finely tuned to work at their best in the time zone of our homes. Our biological clocks are tuned to react to the time of day, the daylight and nighttime cycle, environmental factors and the magnetism of the local environment. We have an internal monitor that tells us when we should sleep or be active based on that internal clock.

When we travel to a new time zone, while our mind finds it peculiar that it is a new time of day that is out of sync with what we know, our bodies go through quite a dramatic adjustment to adjust to the new environment. That is why in a new time zone, you may not be able to sleep when it is 11 p.m. where you are, because to your body, it may be the middle of the afternoon or the next morning.

The symptoms of jet lag are fatigue, lack of appetite, shortness of temper and even a feeling of mild nausea that comes from an internal system that has been thrown for a loop. So the best cure for jet lag is good preparation so you can ease into the change of location without too much anxiety. By reducing the effects of jet lag before they even happen, you make the potential that your business meetings will go well much more likely.

  •  Start adjusting in advance. If you can put yourself on the time frame of your destination a few days in advance, the jet lag won’t be as severe. Start adjusting your sleep times and when you take your meals even before the trip begins so you are already “living in that time zone” before you even make the trip.

  •  Keep a clean diet. Jet lag experts advise that you simplify your diet significantly for several days before the trip. Begin to reduce the amount of heavy foods, carbohydrates, sugars and fats in your diet and increase the level of fruits, vegetables and juices you consume. This will make your system more nimble and able to adjust to change.

  •  Give yourself time on the other end. Try to make arrangements to arrive a day before your meetings so you have time in your hotel room to rest and prepare for the business objectives to be achieved.

  •  Eliminate physical stress sources. During a stressful time, try to cut down on physical stresses such as drinking or extreme physical exercise so your body has more reserves to handle the jet lag symptoms.
By thinking ahead about jet lag, you are taking the measures you need to take to eliminate a threat to the success of your business goals on this trip. So if you can minimize the effect of jet lag, your business trip will be a lot more successful.

When you’re a digital nomad, you truly are free to travel anywhere you feel. The world is your oyster and you can stay on the road for as long as you like – until you’ve bled the Earth dry of every incredible thing that you want to see.

But with so much to choose from, where do you begin? Of course everyone will have their own ideas but here are five destinations to definitely consider checking out…

Zadar


Zadar is an area in Croatia that is a brilliant spot for digital nomads for all kinds of reasons. For one, it is surrounded by some absolutely stunning scenes of natural beauty. Right up there is Krka National Park which has some beautiful waterfalls and a stunningly attractive lake. There are great beaches and the weather is fabulous too.

At the same time though, Zadar has the benefit of being a good fit for the digital lifestyle thanks to lots of free WiFi (even in the National Parks!) and some great bars and cafes where you can sit and get some work done.

London


Not everywhere you visit as a digital nomad has to be completely exotic and tropical. Cities can also be fantastic to visit and Europe is full of beautiful ones to try.

London is a particularly smart choice because it has so many incredible landmarks, so much culture and history and a vibrant nightlife. There are also plenty of great places to work, which include tons of cafes but also museums and the stunning British Library.

Other European cities to try out include Rome, Berlin, Paris, York, Oxford and more.

Thailand


Thailand is a favorite among backpackers, nomads and others and it’s one of the classic places to check out when you’re on your travels. The beaches look like postcards, booze isn’t too expensive and you have the incredible full-moon party that is an absolute must for everyone.

Tokyo


Tokyo is an incredible place to go if you want to feel like a real fish out of water – which is what travel is all about for many people. There are a ton of incredible experiences to be found here and you can even try working in the beautiful ‘New York’ bar from Lost in Translation.

Radolfzell


I wanted to include some curveballs on this list that perhaps you hadn’t considered. Radolfzell is a town in Germany that is right on the Italian and Swiss border. That means that you can visit both those places and I particularly recommend the Rhein Falls and better yet, the beautiful Sisikon. I stayed in a mountain chalet that I found on AirBnB!

Radolfzell is a good spot for entrepreneurs itself though, too, thanks to one of the best European libraries I’ve had the pleasure of working in!

One of the upsides of earning a living away from the commuting of a conventional 9-5 is the flexibility of your time schedule. These are five destinations you may want to consider for your next stop on your list of places to explore.

For the grown-ups, beaches are great for sun-bathing, surfing, and swimming, but for kids it is more than that. For kids, it is a different world altogether. On the beaches, they have all the freedom to use their imagination and to increase the spectrum of their thinking. Here, they can dance, sing, play, dive, surf and do a hundreds thousand activities. Following are a few of the exciting activities which one can enjoy with their kids on the beach.

1. Treasure Hunt

This is one of the most loved games for kids. When you have sand all around you, hiding things will become even more interesting. This game can be modified in a number of ways. One of them could be where parents can hide things under the sand and place an identifier on top of it. They can then ask the kids to guess what is there under each identifier. For example, if they have put a Kids Jewellery Box under the sand they can put a bangle over it. The article at the top will be a hint to what is under the sand.

2. Beach Bowling

Creating the bowling pins out of the sand will be the first exciting part of this game, followed by playing a game of bowling with your gang. The re-creation of pins every time will make them even more involved in the game. They can play this game in groups as well, where they can keep rotating the roles of bowling, creating pins etc.

3. Beach Funny Faces

The best way to play with the sand is to show your creativity. You can draw numerous funny faces on the beach. While creating these faces, kids can also play a game where they will talk to each other by making only faces and not speaking. This will encourage them to understand different kinds of human emotions. Who knows? We may get back a totally new set of emoticons invented by these little geniuses.

4. Sun-Dial

This is one of the easiest and simplest activities you can enjoy on a beach. You only need a stick and few pebbles, which you can get easily. Place the stick in the centre in an upright position and place the pebbles around it equidistant from each other in a circle. While chilling out and playing, kids will observe and learn how the motion of the sun is associated with our time system.

5. Sponge-Animal

Let the children understand how a certain object can absorb so much of water and become heavy. First, they can make the sponge-animals absorb water from the sea and then they can play various throwing and catching games with these sponges. When someone catches the sponge, they will be splashed with water.

6. Balloon Fish

Sitting on the sea-shore, one can easily find a couple of fishes closer to shore. Parents can show children some fishes in the sea, and can ask the kids to draw the faces of the fishes which they saw near the shore on the balloons. They can then fill balloons with water and will be happy to see the inflating of their balloon. This will make them understand how things inflate in real world.

7. Passing the Water

This game is played by more than one player. The more people, the more interesting this game will become. The main idea behind this game is to pass the water in one player's glass, to the glass of the person who is standing right behind him. They can make themselves stand in any way. They can either stand one after the other in a straight queue or they can even form a circle.

8. Beach Ball with a Balloon

Kids can place one balloon at the center of the towel, and can play a game of catch by making the balloon jump up and down on the towel. The aim will be to save the balloons from bursting.

9. Hide and Seek Castles

First, the kids will have to prepare several castles from sand and will have to name them individually. When the game will proceed, one of the kids will become the finder and rest all will try to hide behind the castle. The Finder will then guess who is behind each castle.

10. Playing with Alphabets/Numbers

The beach can be treated as a large notebook for beginners who have just started learning the alphabet, and numbers. We can help them learn the shapes of different letters and numbers by making them draw the figures on the beach. The moment the sea will erase these drawings, it will be fun for kids to re-draw them, and this will allow them to practice.



11. Beach-Tents

Kids can prepare a small beach-tent out of their bed-sheet, sticks, and some medium-sized pebbles. Sleeping in tents in jungles has always been fun for people in any age group, but one can not take kids into jungle. To make the kids feel like they are in the jungle, parents can decorate their tents in hut-like fashion, and also place some bushes around the tent.

12. Tug-O-War

One of the favorite games for all age groups, this can be played by using a simple item, like rope, and involves a lot of teamwork. The kids will learn how to make strategies to defeat their opponents. Though this game symbolizes strength, good strategies will usually prevail. Parents can include themselves in this activity to keep the game moving, as most of the time, kids will not be able to survive in this game for more than few seconds.

13. Shell-Search

The young Sherlock-Holmes can get hands-on experience searching for different kinds of shells. The person who gets the most shells will be the winner.

14. Music

Here, parents can help their kids identify the sound and rhythm of sea-waves, and how they relate to the sounds that musical instruments make. However, this activity will require quietness and an isolated beach, but the effort to find one will definitely pay-off.

15. Mom's Bucket

This game can be taken as a war between the moms who have brought their children to the beach. The moms are required to hold the buckets 10-15 meters from the shore, and the kids will bring water from the shore to fill the bucket. Whoever fills it up first will be the winner. Here, one can utilize the timing of the waves to reduce the distance travelled to fill up the bucket quickly.

Interestingly, one can find an infusion of art, music, and food that gives way to hip dining and cultural scene in downtown Milwaukee. It is a spectacular place to visit irrespective of the time of the year and can be covered easily without burning a hole in your pocket.

So book flight tickets to Milwaukee and get ready for your next vacation in this amazing city which has all the big city conveniences and still manages to retain an old world charm. Here are five reasons why you must visit Milwaukee.

Milwaukee's Dazzling Lakefront

The Lakefront area in this city is one of the most attractive downtown areas as compared to any other city in the US. Visitors can satiate their hunger for shopping in various boutique stores and galleries, have a sumptuous meal on the shores of Lake Michigan or just explore the outdoor recreational state parks and walking trails in the city.


The iconic Harley-Davidson Museum

One of the oldest industries has surprisingly turned out to be a great tourist attraction, the Harley-Davidson Museum. It was back in 1901, when William S. Harley, Arthur and Walter Davidson, and a German engineer produced their very first motorbike. It was soon followed by mass production, and the name became a sensation beyond imagination. There are more than four hundred motorcycles and artifacts housed in this museum where the oldest Harley "Serial Number One," is also stationed.

The diverse Milwaukee Art Museum


The Milwaukee Art Museum was established in the late nineteenth century that houses more than twenty thousand works of art right from antiquities to the present day art. Some of the main attractions that draw visitors from across the globe are the European, American, modern, and contemporary works including fine prints, drawings, and photographs, as well as Asian and African collections.

Pabst Theater and Mansion

Constructed in the late nineteenth century, Pabst theatre and mansion is noteworthy for its Flemish Renaissance Revival style with a graceful Baroque interior. The theatre which is present on the National Register of Historic Places continues to be used for stage performances and musical productions. The Pabst theatre is also well-known for its superior architecture which attracts a large influx of people interested in the performing arts.

The colorful and vibrant Brady Street

Visitors and locals always come and walk along Brady Street while admiring and observing the charming buildings from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The street is beautifully endowed with some of the city's best-known cafes, lounges, boutiques, and fine dining restaurants which make this street all the more interesting. Early settlers and immigrants from Germany, Poland, Ireland, and Italy make it an ethnically diverse city. The streets stretch all the way from Lake Michigan and finish at the Milwaukee River. There are local businesses thriving with full throttle as they present people with some exquisite and rare items.


The city of Milwaukee plays host to a wide array of summer festivals and celebrates a diverse set of cultures that the city has incorporated over a period of time. There is a mix of old and new and a distinct character that sets the city apart from the rest. So don't wait any longer and book your flights early to save on airfares to Milwaukee. Booking roundtrip flights rather than two separate one-way flight tickets to Milwaukee is a dependable way to find cheap Milwaukee flights.
