Health Tips for Every Wanderer

Pack your Medications/Prescriptions

This seems like a no-brainer, but it’s easily forgotten when you’re super excited about your vacation. But always pack your medication and a copy of your prescription in case you need to refill your meds for any reason while away from home.

This includes not only your vitamins and other ingestible medications, but also things like your asthma pump and your EpiPem in case you have an asthmatic episode or an allergic reaction to anything en route to or during your stay at Wander Orford Cliffs.

Travel with a First Aid Kit

If you’re accident-prone like me, this one should actually be at the top of your travel checklist. Although we have first aid kits available at all Wander properties, having one handy during the journey to your vacation spot is always a good idea.

Sanitize

COVID-19 protocols are more relaxed these days, but traveling with your disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer is a personal protocol you should always adhere to. This is especially needed and convenient if you’re traveling on public transportation.

You just pop out one of your wipes and do a quick wipedown of your area to lessen the amount of germs left on your seat, arm rest, and other surfaces. Then once that’s done, you can squeeze some hand sanitizer in your palms to finish off for a germ-free journey.

Stay Hydrated

The final, simplest and most underrated tip for all of our Wanderers is to stay hydrated. Ensure that you’re getting plenty of water daily especially on vacation where it’s easy to be drawn in by the surplus of activities near your Wander home or the fact that happy hour can be at any hour.

So whether you need to download an app to remind you to drink water, or you need to get a bottle with measurement markings on it, just do your best to keep up your water intake.

The Wander team wants you to be comfortable on all fronts and that includes your health; so in the event that there is an emergency, please call 911. Otherwise, you can refer to this list for your other health needs.

Also, don’t forget that your Wander Concierge team is ready to make your stay as laid back as ever. So until your next trip with us, continue drinking your 8 glasses and stay safe!

We're counting down the days until unlocking the doors of your happy place. See you soon!
