If you are travel for work or even on long vacations it is easy to become homesick. Many travelers find them selves away from home for weeks or even months at a time. While this may seem exciting at first, the time away can make you feel disconnected from the stability of life in your own home. Here are a few items you can bring along with you to help your hotel or vacation rental property feel more like home.

Luxury hotels offer travelers some of the finest linens in the world but nothing will make you feel more at home than laying your head down at night on your own pillow. If you are not lucky enough to be spending your time away in a high end hotel, having your own pillow could save you from having to spend the nights resting your head on a pillow that feels more like a brick or piece of paper than the comforts you are used to. If you are going away for a long period of time and have the luxury to bring along a little extra luggage, traveling with your own sheets is another great way to create the feeling of home even when you are far way.

When you are searching for long term hotel or vacation properties, choose lodging that has a kitchen. Smell is one of our most powerful senses and the aroma of something familiar cooking in the kitchen will be a strong reminder of the comforts of home. Also, getting up in the morning and enjoying a familiar breakfast is a great way to stay on schedule and ensure you feel great for your entire trip. Travelers often experience unpleasant illnesses while traveling because they eat foods they never would at home. By choosing a property with a kitchen you will able to make healthier food choices and save money too.

Most hotels provide you with basic toiletries, but packing your own shampoo, soap and other bathroom necessities will allow you to recreate your routine. If you have a special bubble bath you like to use when you relax bring it along. Nothing will remind you of the comforts of home like a relaxing bath after a long day working or exploring. Are you planning to do laundry while on vacation? If so, pick up a small bottle of the laundry soap you usually use. The familiar scent will help you to feel at home.

Finally, packing a few items to help you decorate a sterile, generic hotel room can really give you that home away from home feel. Small picture frames containing photos of family or pets are a great addition to any hotel bedside table. If you have a small alarm clock that you use to wake up, bring it along. Packing familiar nighttime items like a sleeping mask or sound machine can help you create a familiar environment and ensure you get a good night’s sleep. Hotel robes are great but nothing feels more like home than your favorite lounge wear and cozy slippers.
