Having the opportunity to travel around the world is an amazing and exciting privilege, and here at Prince of Travel, we consider ourselves lucky that we get to explore so many incredible places.
Over the course of our travels, something that we’ve noticed (and we’re sure most every traveller would agree) is that we become a different version of ourselves when travelling compared to when we’re at home.

For many of us, this includes relaxing, sleeping in and staying out late, taking a break from our gym routines, and indulging in delicious food and drinks.
However, as fun as these travel behaviours are, they’re not necessarily things that serve us well in our everyday lives once we’re back home.
And while it can be a struggle to say goodbye to the more indulgent lifestyle that travel often affords, getting back into a healthy routine is a great way…
