For many of us out there who are not fond of traveling and for them, it can be a big and hectic process especially when the flights are being delayed. Initially, it depends on the purpose of traveling, i-e: if you are traveling for vacations or the business, it can be difficult to stay healthy, relax and feel safe especially with all the scary news and stories of pandemics due to the passengers flying overseas. Sometimes it might sound like everyone is doomed to get sick during a flight. But that is not always the case.

  •         Health and fitness concerns related to flights:

Most people don’t realize that while sitting in a cramped metal tube with many other fellow passengers from around the world, at 8,000 feet of pressure, your body isn’t the same. Your immune system gets stressed and even breathing is more labored due to less availability of oxygen in the air at such high altitude. Also, the breathing system is under pressure because of the air’s diminished humidity.

In addition to all these, sitting idle for a couple of hours or more and eating processed food, caffeine, and sugary products adds more to the deteriorating health status of your body. The worst of all is the jet lag, making your body turn upside down. So the question arises, is it possible to stay healthy and fit during long-haul flights?

Another very common condition is a result of long flights which is generally termed as an economy-class syndrome or deep vein thrombosis. During air travel, the long durations of immobility results in the development of clots and cramped legs, the reason being low cabin pressure, dehydration and immobility. The doctors and physicians suggest passengers especially in long flights to create a situation where they can stretch themselves and move their limbs and legs for joints and muscle movement and regulated blood flow especially in lower half of the body to prevent such conditions.

Understanding all these health and fitness-related concerns, recently at Philadelphia Airport various health and fitness-related trends started to show up. The addition of yoga rooms, stationary exercise bikes and walking tracks scattered throughout the terminals making your overall traveling experience much better than it was ever before. 

  •         Simple exercise routines at airports and during flight:

During the flights when you sit upright for longer durations, it tends to stiff and tense your muscles. Also, it can be a cause of feet swelling due to fluid collection in your feet. To avoid certain conditions and prevent deep vein thrombosis, you are suggested to stretch before flights or even during the flight when the seatbelt sign turns off. Even a few laps to the toilet, simple walking, can be a good thing (if you are not disturbing other fellow passengers).

Some airports around the globe, like the Philadelphia Airport, have specified areas- the Philadelphia airport’s fitness zones, around the terminals for you to stretch yourself a bit before taking off. They have brought gym directly to the concourse and also created walking paths both inside and outside the terminals and the yoga rooms with loaner mats, encouraging easy access and low-impact exercise for everyone in the vicinity.

You can even pay for the gyms that are found nearby and at the airport terminals or hop on the stationary bikes and ride for a couple of minutes. Make sure to make most of the airport terminal space and amenities.  

  •         Philadelphia Airport Marriott fitness center:

The Philadelphia Airport Marriott is located at a very convenient location. Connected directly connected to Philadelphia Airport Terminal B, it allows passengers to get settled with an exceptionally accessible location, into comfortable areas quickly before getting lost in the sightseeing of the city. It is not only located near the Airport premises but is also in the center of all famous attractions and corporate hubs. You can just ho on an airport shuttle for free which departs every 20 minutes or you can simply walk straight to the gates to the hotel. You can also book the shuttle service on-demand between 12:00 PM to 1:00 AM. For health and fitness freaks, the Marriot is facilitated with a fully-equipped 24-hour fitness center. You can maintain your workout routine while in Philadelphia and can enjoy modern cardio equipment, free weights, and dumbbells, workout space with flat-screen TV’s throughout and total body exercise machines.

  •         Exercise during flight:

If you don’t have enough time to spare and head towards specified gym and fitness centers, you can still perform simple and easy exercises (better to say stretching exercises) during the flight, just to stay active and not to exhaust yourself. Like;

  1. Knee lift

While sitting, you can gently and slowly bend your knees in the upward direction, towards you, one leg at one time. This simple exercise will improve blood flow in your lower body.

  1. Foot stretch and pump

While standing (make sure to find support to balance your body), lift your heels and stretch as high as you can. Then put both feet back on the floor and this time, raise your toes upwards and stretch as far as you can. It is the best stretching exercise for your lower body, especially feet, and legs.

  1. Shoulder roll

By creating gentle and simple circular movements for your shoulders and stretching them, improves the blood flow and relaxes joints. First, hunch your shoulders forward and then move them upward, backward and then downward, and repeated the cycle gently moving your shoulders.

  1. Knee hug

For a knee hug, clasp your knee while bending slightly forward and lifting your leg like hugging it towards your chest.

  1. Forward bend

Even simply bending forward while keeping your back straight and touching your thighs, lower limbs, foot and floor (entirely your choice and stretching capacity) is proved to be beneficial. Slowly ease yourself back up after holding for 10-15 seconds.

  1. Neckroll

Keeping your shoulders relaxed, drop your ear towards your shoulder, and then gently roll your head from side to side, at least 10 times on each side.

Exercises at the airport:

Traveling means longer hours of idle sitting such as layovers, long flying hours, delayed flights and so on. After all of that holiday food, it feels good to stay fit and all of the downtimes at the airport are the perfect time to get some stretching. Some simple exercises you can do at the airport can be a great help.

  1.     Lunges:

It is a single-leg bodyweight exercise that works your hips, hamstrings, and your inner thighs. In the less crowded area, lunge out one leg ensuring your front knee go past your toes.

  1.     Squats:

The Squat is a lower-body exercise. This exercise targets the thighs, quadriceps, hamstrings and the glutes. Place your feet hip-width apart and put your body weight in your heels. Squat to 90 degrees and gently balance your body back to the normal standing position.

  1.     Tricep Dips:

Tricep dips are one of the best exercise targeting arm strength. While sitting on a chair or a bench, set your body and feet so that your upper body will be vertical. Holding from the edge, lower yourself down and extend your legs.

  1.     Chair Push-Ups:

Align your body straight while placing your hands on a chair and lower your chest while bending the elbows.

  1.     Seated Leg Lifts:

While raising your legs out in front of you, squeeze your thighs. Keep your focus on the lower body. Not only do seated single-leg lifts work your core, but they can also help stabilize your knees after an injury.

  1.     Wall Sit:

Sit up against a wall with your legs at a 90-degree angle and hold it for as long as you can. Simple!

  •         Exercise tips for non-gym persons:

A question arises, when you are not much of a gym, exercise or a yoga person and after tiresome flight hours, not much of strength is left to sweat. So, we are here to guide you along the path which is much easier, convenient and most interesting of all is, not even generally considered as an exercise.

Some several stretches and techniques will not only improve the benefits of walking but also help prevent injury. Here the idea is, even the simplest moments of the body and joints can prove to be beneficial for health. Using the following techniques will help improve the benefits of walking:

ü  The majority of the forward motion should start with the hips and each stride should feel natural like neither too long nor too short stride.

ü  Walk briskly but don’t forget to carry on a conversation generally as to maintain enough breath.

ü  To get optimum aerobic benefit, maintain a good form while walking with each step, keeping in mind to protect your back and avoid injury.

ü  Keep the stomach stand fully upright and pulled in slightly as it is important to help support the trunk of the body and the spine by using the abdominal muscles.

ü  Keep the shoulders relaxed but straight, head up and centered between the shoulders; avoid slouching forward and the eyes focused straight ahead at the horizon.

ü  Avoid leaning forward as you walk.

If you are stranded at Philadelphia airport, there’s more to do now. The new exercise equipment such as elliptical machines and exercise bikes have been installed recently for travelers to use in the terminal representing new development in the growing availability of fitness facilities. The free-standing low-impact cycling machines consist of devices that measure heart rate, pedals and seats and are free of charge. Also wooden rocking chairs are positioned near the shops and restaurants near the terminals in an attempt to tempt travelers to extend their sitting time before boarding their plane. Also, you can find pop-up gym that moves between the airport’s terminals every two weeks so that the passengers can have a light workout and stretching.

Top 10 Bucket List Experiences in Svalbard for 2025

Published

on

Svalbard

Nestled just 600 miles south of the North Pole, Svalbard is a remote Norwegian archipelago offering a once-in-a-lifetime Arctic adventure. With dramatic landscapes, unique wildlife, and otherworldly experiences, it’s the perfect destination for intrepid travelers. Here are the top 10 activities you can’t miss in Svalbard.

IMG 2442

1. Witness the Majesty of the Northern Lights

Svalbard is one of the few places where you can witness the aurora borealis during the day. From late October to mid-February, the sun never rises, creating the perfect conditions to spot this natural light show. Imagine powerful ribbons of green, purple, and red dancing across the pitch-black Arctic sky.

 To maximize your chances of seeing this phenomenon, consider joining a northern lights tour led by local experts who know the best spots for uninterrupted views. These tours often combine northern lights hunting with other activities like snowmobiling or husky sledding, creating an unforgettable Arctic experience. For photographers, this is a dream come true – just be sure to dress warmly as temperatures can plummet to -20°C (-4°F).

2. Spot Polar Bears in the Wild

Svalbard is home to roughly 3,000 polar bears, making it one of the best places in the world to see these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. Spring and summer are prime times for spotting polar bears as they roam the melting sea ice in search of food. Guided boat tours, snowmobile expeditions, or even trekking adventures allow you to glimpse the Arctic’s apex predator. Remember, for safety reasons, you can’t leave town without a guide or a rifle – a precaution against surprise encounters with these powerful animals.

3. Explore Soviet Ghost Towns

Step back in time with a visit to Pyramiden, a Soviet-era ghost town abandoned in the 1980s. This time capsule offers a hauntingly beautiful glimpse into the Soviet Union’s Arctic ambitions. Highlights include motivational posters still hanging on walls, a well-preserved cinema with film reels from decades past, and a statue of Lenin staring out across the frozen wilderness. The town is accessible by boat in summer or snowmobile in winter, making it an adventure in itself. Don’t forget to stop at the quirky bar run by the handful of caretakers who maintain the site year-round.

4. Experience Glacier Calving

The incredible spectacle of glaciers calving marks spring in Svalbard – when massive chunks of ice break off and crash into the sea with thunderous force. Witnessing this natural event is a reminder of both the planet’s beauty and fragility. Boat tours take visitors close to glaciers like Nordenskiöld or Monacobreen, where you can observe towering ice walls up close. Some tours even include opportunities to kayak among the icebergs for an unforgettable, front-row view.

5. Go Dog Sledding Across Arctic Terrain

Few experiences capture the Arctic spirit like dog sledding. In Svalbard, you can join teams of enthusiastic huskies to glide across snow-covered landscapes, exploring pristine valleys and frozen fjords. Winter offers the best conditions for sledding, but summer brings a unique twist: wheeled sleds that traverse the rugged tundra. Along the way, guides share insights into sled dog culture and the history of Arctic exploration.

6. Take a Polar Plunge

For the adventurous (and slightly crazy), taking a polar plunge is a rite of passage in Svalbard. Jump into the freezing Arctic Ocean from the safety of a boat or the icy shoreline. While the thought may send shivers down your spine, the experience is invigorating – and earns you serious bragging rights. Locals often take it a step further and plunge in their birthday suits, a testament to their Arctic resilience.

7. Cruise Among Icebergs and Spot Whales

Summer in Svalbard is about exploring the icy waters surrounding the archipelago. Take a boat tour or hop in a kayak to navigate among towering icebergs and shimmering fjords. Keep your eyes peeled for Arctic marine life, including seals, walruses, and breaching minke whales. Some lucky travelers even spot blue whales and belugas. For a more intimate experience, guided kayaking tours offer a tranquil way to explore these frigid waters up close.

8. Join a Snowmobile Expedition

Snowmobiling is one of the most exhilarating ways to explore Svalbard’s remote wilderness. Guided expeditions take you across frozen fjords, snow-covered mountains, and icy plains. A popular route leads to Barentsberg, a working Russian mining settlement where you can warm up with a hearty meal before continuing your journey. For the truly adventurous, multi-day snowmobile tours, venture deep into Svalbard’s untamed interior, offering unparalleled views and the chance to spot wildlife.

9. Hike Under the Midnight Sun

During the summer months, Svalbard experiences 24-hour daylight for nearly four months. This endless sunlight creates the perfect conditions for hiking. Explore dramatic valleys, climb rugged peaks or trek across glacial moraines under the golden glow of the midnight sun. Guided hikes cater to all skill levels, and you’ll likely encounter Svalbard’s unique wildlife along the way, including curious reindeer and Arctic foxes.

10. Immerse Yourself in Arctic History at the Svalbard Museum

Located in Longyearbyen, the Svalbard Museum offers a fascinating look at the region’s history, culture, and ecology. Learn about the earliest Arctic explorers, the indigenous wildlife, and life’s challenges in an extreme environment. Exhibits include artifacts from the whaling era, mining history, and modern scientific research. It’s the perfect way to enrich your understanding of Svalbard before heading out on your adventures.

When to Visit

Svalbard offers distinct experiences in each season, making it a year-round destination:

Winter (Polar Night): Ideal for northern lights, dog sledding, and snowmobiling.

Spring is best for spotting polar bears, glacier calving, and tracking wildlife.

Summer (Midnight Sun): Perfect for hiking, kayaking, and whale watching.

Svalbard is not just a destination; it’s an adventure like no other. From its surreal landscapes to its unique wildlife and unforgettable activities, every moment here is a story waiting to be told. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or a nature lover, Svalbard offers a bucket list experience that will stay with you forever. So pack your warmest gear, embrace the Arctic spirit, and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime!

Skills to Learn While Travelling

Traveling isn’t just about exploring new destinations; it’s also a unique opportunity to grow personally and develop valuable skills that enrich your life. Whether you’re embarking on a solo journey or travelling with friends or family, there are numerous skills to pick up along the way that can be both practical and enjoyable. Here’s a look at some important and fun skills you can learn while travelling:

1. Language Skills

One of the most rewarding skills to learn while travelling is picking up a new language. Even learning a few basic phrases in the local language can make a huge difference. It helps you connect with locals, navigate unfamiliar areas, and enriches your cultural experience. Plus, it’s a fun challenge to practice ordering food, asking for directions, or greeting strangers in their native tongue.

  • Pro Tip: Use apps like Duolingo or Rosetta Stone before and during your trip to build foundational knowledge. Once you’re on the ground, practice speaking with locals—they’ll appreciate your effort!

2. Photography and Videography

Travelling is the perfect time to hone your photography or videography skills. With stunning landscapes, vibrant cityscapes, and unique cultural moments to capture, you can practice composing shots, experimenting with lighting, and even editing your content.

  • Pro Tip: Invest in a good camera or learn to maximize your smartphone’s capabilities. Editing apps like Lightroom or VSCO can help you polish your shots.

3. First Aid Skills

Knowing basic first aid can be incredibly useful when travelling, especially to remote areas or countries with limited medical access. From treating minor injuries to knowing how to handle emergencies, this skill ensures you’re prepared for the unexpected. In today’s digital age, you can earn a mobile CPR certification right from your phone. Many organizations offer mobile-friendly courses that you can complete while travelling. Learning CPR is a life-saving skill that could prove invaluable in emergencies, whether you’re at home or abroad.

  • Pro Tip: Take a first aid and CPR  course before your trip and carry a small first aid kit in your luggage.

4. Learning a New Hobby

  • Travelling gives you the chance to try activities you might not have considered at home. From surfing and scuba diving to painting or learning a musical instrument, picking up a new hobby is a fun way to make your travels memorable. For something unique, you could even learn archery while you’re away.
  • Pro Tip: Look for workshops, classes, or local experts who can guide you through the activity. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.

5. Navigation and Map Reading

In a world dominated by GPS, knowing how to read a physical map is still an invaluable skill. Travelling to remote areas or places with spotty internet can teach you how to rely on traditional navigation skills. This not only boosts your confidence but also enhances your sense of direction.

  • Pro Tip: Download offline maps or carry a physical map of the area you’re visiting. Practice recognizing landmarks to orient yourself.

6. Cooking Local Cuisine

Food is an integral part of any culture, and learning to cook a local dish is both fun and practical. Many destinations offer cooking classes for tourists, where you can learn the secrets behind traditional recipes. You’ll not only enjoy the process but also take a piece of the culture back home with you.

  • Pro Tip: Visit local markets to learn about the ingredients and flavors unique to the region. Ask locals for tips and recipes to try on your own.

7. Improvisation and Problem-Solving

Travelling comes with its fair share of unexpected challenges—missed flights, language barriers, or lost luggage. These moments teach you how to adapt, think on your feet, and remain calm under pressure. Problem-solving is a skill that grows naturally as you navigate unfamiliar situations.

  • Pro Tip: Stay open-minded and keep a positive attitude. Challenges often lead to the best stories and personal growth.

8. Social and Networking Skills

Meeting new people is one of the joys of travelling. Whether you’re connecting with fellow travelers, engaging with locals, or participating in group tours, you’ll sharpen your social and networking skills. Learning how to start conversations and build relationships can open doors to unforgettable experiences and lifelong friendships.

  • Pro Tip: Join local events, group activities, or online travel communities like Meetup or Couchsurfing to meet people with similar interests.

9. Cultural Awareness and Etiquette

Understanding and respecting cultural differences is an essential skill for any traveler. Learning about local customs, traditions, and social norms helps you navigate interactions gracefully and avoid unintentionally offending anyone. This skill fosters deeper connections and a greater appreciation for diversity.

  • Pro Tip: Research cultural etiquette before your trip. Observe how locals interact and follow their lead.

10.  Budgeting and Money Management

Travelling often requires sticking to a budget, which can teach you the art of money management. From negotiating prices at markets to tracking daily expenses, you’ll become more mindful of your spending habits and learn to prioritize what matters most.

  • Pro Tip: Use budgeting apps like Trail Wallet or Splitwise to manage your finances on the go.

11. Journaling and Storytelling

Keeping a travel journal or blog is a great way to document your experiences, reflect on your journey, and improve your writing skills. Sharing your stories with others can also inspire them to embark on their own adventures.

  • Pro Tip: Dedicate a few minutes each day to jot down your thoughts, highlights, and lessons learned. Use prompts to guide your storytelling.

12. Sustainable Travel Practices

Travelling offers an opportunity to adopt eco-friendly habits, such as reducing waste, conserving water, and supporting local businesses. By practicing sustainable travel, you’re contributing to the preservation of the environment and the well-being of local communities.

  • Pro Tip: Bring reusable items like water bottles, shopping bags, and utensils. Support eco-conscious accommodations and tour operators.

Final Thoughts

Travelling is one of the best ways to step out of your comfort zone and grow as a person. By embracing the chance to learn new skills, you’ll not only make your trips more enriching but also carry valuable experiences back home. So, the next time you pack your bags, keep an open mind and be ready to add some fun and practical skills to your repertoire!
