7. Get outdoors/get fit. Exercise gives you endorphins and jogging past the Sydney Opera House or doing yoga on the Cliffs of Moher reminds you how much better being abroad is than your monotonous gym at home.
8. Turn off your newsfeed. Sometimes it’s best not to see what you’re “missing out on.” You’re really not missing out on anything; it will still be there when you’re back. But you’re only “here” now. Embrace real life.
9. Do something for someone at home. To stay connected, send post cards, souvenirs and written letters.
