I have just posted 4 new articles on Shira.net. (It's about time I put something new out there, isn't it?) All four are geared to advising you on how to stay healthy when traveling. Although I wrote them with traveling to Egypt in mind, they do also apply to more mundane travel such as going to a workshop, retreat, or belly dance festival in another city in your own country. In fact, some of the topics discussed in the articles are things I learned back when I used to travel extensively within the U.S. on business.

Each article discusses one or more things that can go wrong, offers some tips on how to prevent it and how to deal with it if it happens, and summarizes the advice in the bottom in a packing checklist you can use to make sure you take everything you want to take.

The four articles in my "Health Secrets of a Belly Dancing Road Warrior" include:

Part 1: Beginning to Plan
Part 2: Beating Jet Lag
Part 3: Avoiding Colds
Part 4: Healthy Gut (in other words, how to avoid traveler's diarrhea)

The first 3 articles in the series appeared on Gilded Serpent a year ago.
