Keeping your hands active, as well as your mind, is a simple and easy way to keep the boredom at bay. Take along something that’s specifically designed to keep your fingers active, such as a fidget spinner, putty, or a stress reliever. Why not take along some pencils and paper and work on your sketching techniques?
A good pair of headphones or earphones is a must-have item if you want to zone out. Sometimes, nothing beats plugging in and switching on your personal playlist while you gaze out of the window and slouch back into your seat.
If all else fails, take a nap! Travelling can be extremely tiring, especially if your departure times are particularly early or late in the day. Close your eyes and catch up on those forty winks. If it’s bright, put on an eye mask. If you’re on a coach or bus, then set an alarm or ask someone else to wake you up before your stop or your holiday might not be in the destination you had planned.
