Dine out for a real local experience
If you’ve never had dinner alone, now’s your chance! Check out the best restaurants near you (or even on the other side of town) and go sample a bit of local cuisine. Pick up a copy of the New York Times, or something like it, pair a nice glass of wine with your meal, and just relax. Not every dinner has to be one for business purposes! Sometimes, you deserve a break.Book a wellness treatment
Whether it's in your destination city or during a long layover, booking a spa treatment can really turn a work trip into a memorable and enjoyable experience. A relaxing massage, a soothing body scrub, or even just a simple manicure or hair cut can really help you disconnect! Take the time out of your busy schedule to do something for yourself, and you'll see just how quickly a positive attitude and a great deal of motivation will surface!Turn it into a bleisure trip
Going somewhere cool like Miami or Los Angeles? Make a weekend of it! Extend your business trip to the weekend and start creating some memories. You can even get a friend or family member to fly out and meet you, and spend the weekend eating out, seeing the sights, exploring new places, and enjoying a city you otherwise might not have visited. Or if we're really thinking out of the box, get a rental car and drive back home! It's the road trip you always wanted. Remember to pack casual clothes in your carry-on!Upgrade your entire experience
Alright, so this one really depends on your company's travel policy and procedure. But if they do offer you perks like getting a nice, design hotel, or upgrading your plane ticket to business class, then treat yourself! Check in to a stylish hotel at a central location, or spoil yourself with a business class seat and lounge pass. Maybe you even consider getting a high-end design Airbnb Plus for a really unique business travel experience. Just make sure you keep your credit card receipt if you hope to get reimbursed!Did you find this article useful?
