Taking a trip to a winter wonderland? While traveling to a chilly destination can be just as fun and enjoyable as a warm weather trip, the truth is, it requires a little extra preparation (and a little extra patience for bad weather snafus!). Whether you’re planning a ski adventure in Colorado, a business trip in Beijing, or studying abroad in Paris, follow the advice of experienced travelers.
You’ve heard it a million times before and it’s true: When it’s cold, you need to dress in layers. Also, make sure to pay attention to your destination’s climate – down garments are great in dry climates, but not so much in wetter climates as they lose their insulating properties when wet and are slow to dry. Here’s more:
Avoid overexertion
Understand wind chill
Follow the safety rules on the slopes
Stay hydrated
Use eye and skin protection
Prepare for worst case scenario
Have a wonderful winter and Bon Voyage’!
