Preventing an international incident for yourself!!

ALWAYS start packing with a completely empty bag. Empty out suitcase and duffle bag pockets to make sure no prohibited items are accidentally in your luggage. Some countries have very strict and specific prohibitions. Look them up before you pack at travel.state.gov/destination.

Mental Health Awareness Month
Our mental health doesn’t vacation when we do!
This article helps prepare and support our mental wellbeing while we vacation!!

Today’s post is from Gabe Gunnink, a Monday Night Travel host on our team:

My college chaplain once counseled me, “Gabe, you’re going to be the same person no matter where you go.” Of course, travel can change us and broaden our perspectives, but she meant that most of our problems can’t be escaped by crossing borders.

This is especially true of mental health challenges. I’ve lived with OCD for as long as I can remember, and, to my frustration, OCD doesn’t take a vacation just because I do. Instead, my obsessions and compulsions pressure me to scour every last plaque of a museum exhibit or trip me up as I hurry to make a stressful train connection. Travel is life intensified, and it can amplify both joys and struggles.

The good news is that by anticipating mental health barriers and packing coping mechanisms, we can mitigate these struggles and maximize the joys of travel. For me, this means traveling with friends who can help jostle me from obsessive moments or leaving early for the train station so that time lost to compulsions doesn’t cause stress. For others, coping skills can include check-in calls with a counselor, sightseeing itineraries designed to avoid crowds, or set times to decompress each day.

Tending to our mental health beyond our usual routines is so crucial that the CDC offers advice to help travelers manage their mental health abroad: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2024/preparing/mental-health

If you meet with a mental health provider, consider connecting with
them for pre- and post-travel consultations. And if you need support
while abroad, work with your provider to find culturally compatible mental health resources where you’re traveling.

If you take medications, carry your prescriptions in their original bottles along with a doctor’s note. As the availability and legality of some drugs vary by region, contact a health provider or embassy to ensure you can clear customs and get refills.

Finally, as with physical health, gauge which discomforts can be managed while you travel and which pains require immediate attention. In case a mental health crisis arises, save local emergency numbers and check that your travel insurance covers psychiatric emergencies.

As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month this May, it’s important to remember we all have a mental health status and that it’s susceptible to change, especially when we venture beyond our comfort zones. Fortunately, by preparing for mental health challenges, we can confidently bring our full selves to our trips and focus on embracing experiences that inform and transform.

Meet my Beautiful Cousins and their New Business Suite P & Co !
This is in addition to their wedding planning business Seasons of Bliss!

Meet the sisters behind the brand! Jenna (left) and Katy(right) have worked for several years as wedding planners in the Denver area. Toward the end of the planning process with every wedding, we would sit down and help our clients choose their wedding signage. In one of our late night planning sessions, we were on the hunt for the perfect signage to compliment our client's wedding vision. Then it dawned on us... why don't we just start making signs for our clients? Who better to understand the aesthetic for the biggest day of their lives? We created Suite P & Co, invested in an incredible thunder laser printer, and started designing! Please follow along with us on our journey to forge a path in the wedding signage industry! ~ Katy and Jenna
