Creator's Key Takeaways

I've traveled to Europe every summer for the past four years and I swear by my strategy for avoiding jet lag.

Jet lag is so frustrating when it hits you and it can ruin the first few days of any trip.

I won't lie. It's not easy to avoid a first day nap, but you'll be happier for the rest of your trip if you don't do that.

This meant the next day when I boarded my cruise ship on Silversea, I was functional and ready to do everything.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Don't go to sleep until local bedtime after arriving in Europe.
โœ“Keep moving all day to stay awake and avoid napping.
โœ“Take a shower as soon as you get to your hotel to reinvigorate yourself.
โœ“Use sunlight and coffee to help reset your internal clock.
โœ“Treat day one as a reset day, not a productive day.
