I should have been thrilled. Instead, all I wanted to do was flop on the couch, eat salty carbs, and cry. I\u2019d been fighting crushing PMS symptoms\u2014cramping, massive mood swings, exhaustion, and achy joints\u2014for a couple of weeks. Frustrated and cranky, I downed Advil, carved out precious carry-on room for two boxes of super-plus tampons, and tried to sleep before my 5 a.m. flight the next morning.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\">\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"experts-in-article noskim py-[24px] px-[40px]\">\n<p>Experts In This Article<\/p>\n<ul class=\"!ml-[18px]\">\n<li> <a href=\"https:\/\/evorawomen.com\/meet-dr-lynn\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/evorawomen.com\/meet-dr-lynn\">Becky Lynn, MD<\/a>, OB\/GYN and CEO and founder of Evora Women\u2019s Health <\/li>\n<li> <a href=\"https:\/\/theultimateretreatcompany.com\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/theultimateretreatcompany.com\/\">Julie Ann Slade<\/a>, owner of The Ultimate Retreat Company in Costa Blanca, Spain <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<hr\/><\/div>\n<p>During the week-long trip, I traveled by bus for hours at a stretch between remote villages off the beaten path.

My love of exploring our wonderful world is a life-long passion. Solo journeys have shown me what I\u2019m capable of, boosted my confidence, and given me a sense of well-being. Travel is the ultimate soul stretch, one I\u2019m grateful to experience regularly.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also perimenopausal. That means my ovarian function is slowly grinding to a halt, causing hormone swings that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/perimenopause-definition\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/perimenopause-definition\/\">trigger a myriad of symptoms<\/a>. In my case, that includes hot flashes, irritability, sleep disturbances, bloating, brain fog, joint pain and overly-sensitive skin. Menopause isn\u2019t officially reached until you\u2019ve gone without a period for 12 months, and the process of perimenopause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menopause.org\/for-women\/menopauseflashes\/menopause-symptoms-and-treatments\/menopause-101-a-primer-for-the-perimenopausal#:~:text=Physical%20changes%20begin%20years%20before,after%20the%20final%20menstrual%20period.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.menopause.org\/for-women\/menopauseflashes\/menopause-symptoms-and-treatments\/menopause-101-a-primer-for-the-perimenopausal#:~:text=Physical%20changes%20begin%20years%20before,after%20the%20final%20menstrual%20period.\">can take years<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At 48, I\u2019ve maneuvered around portions of perimenopause with a decent amount of grace. I\u2019m at peace with my fleeting fertility. The gray hairs I\u2019ve learned to keep, not cover. Any stray hairs I can easily pluck. Hormonal breakouts are annoying but manageable. But slogging through more severe side effects while keeping my globetrotting schedule has become increasingly disruptive.<\/p>\n<p>In the past couple of years, I\u2019ve experienced overwhelming nervousness while traveling. (Can I make my connection? Will I sleep on the plane? Where\u2019s my passport?) Turns out, many people <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menopause.org\/for-women\/menopauseflashes\/menopause-symptoms-and-treatments\/going-mad-in-perimenopause-signs-and-solutions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.menopause.org\/for-women\/menopauseflashes\/menopause-symptoms-and-treatments\/going-mad-in-perimenopause-signs-and-solutions\">experience anxiety<\/a>, sometimes for the first time in their lives, during perimenopause. There\u2019s the waiting on my increasingly erratic periods, which often look and feel like crime scenes sometimes requiring both tampons and pads. Hot flashes leave me suddenly drenched. Night sweats disrupt my sleep and make jet lag unbearable. Several times, the resulting lack of rest has left me a brain-fogged mess when I should have been relishing a brand-new destination. I\u2019m not alone: dear friends and fellow travel writers I commiserate with on the regular are also slogging through, trying to maintain their regular routines and activities as their physical and mental states are in hormonal revolt.<\/p>\n<p>I never imagined that perimenopause could be so challenging and tumultuous. My mom never really brought it up, nor have any of my doctors so far. I\u2019ve been muddling through without really knowing what, if anything, I can do about it. And it\u2019s threatening to rob me of a tremendous joy\u2014travel.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Don\u2019t let this stage in life press the pause button on living, loving life, and exploring.&#8221; \u2014Julie Ann Slade, owner, The Ultimate Retreat Company<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe have done such a poor job of educating perimenopausal women,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/evorawomen.com\/meet-dr-lynn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/evorawomen.com\/meet-dr-lynn\">Becky Lynn, MD<\/a>, an OB\/GYN, menopause expert, and founder\/CEO of Evora Women\u2019s Health, a medical concierge service focused on women\u2019s wellness. \u201cThey might feel broken, and that\u2019s just not the case. The good news is that there are a lot of safe and effective things that you can do to treat perimenopause.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After conversations with patients focusing on medical history, individual symptoms, daily stressors and lifestyle, Dr. Lynn often prescribes a contraceptive\u2014like the patch or vaginal ring\u2014that can also double as an effective hormone replacement therapy (HRT) option. They deliver safe doses of hormones that regulate menstrual flow and can help quell a whole host of other perimenopause unpleasantries. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to suffer in silence,\u201d Dr. Lynn says. \u201cThere are ways to feel better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the doctor\u2019s office, there are a lot of ways you can learn to manage or mitigate symptoms of perimenopause while you travel.

Many are middle-aged and perimenopausal, venturing out solo. \u201cTravel keeps us engaged with the world,\u201d she tells me. \u201cIt keeps our bodies moving and our minds healthy with new experiences that feed our souls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slade acknowledges hormonal travel concerns are very real. Her staff keeps in constant communication with in-transit guests to minimize any anxiety, difficulties, or snags, and works with them to tailor their experience according to their personal needs. This can include a menopause-specific medical and wellness consultation, customized meals, life coaching, and specific fitness offerings. Guests also have private rooms, with no single supplement, so they can enjoy peace and privacy. Aromatherapy sprays containing calming scents are readily available, and time outdoors is prioritized to boost mood.<\/p>\n<p>Slade says emotional support is also vitally important to combat social stigma associated with perimenopause, as is staying active and engaged despite its changes and challenges. She and her staff actively listen to their perimenopausal guests, meet them where they are, and offer encouragement, support and practical solutions. The goal: to impart empathy, encouragement and empowerment.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I can\u2019t imagine life without the thrill of going to new places and meeting new people. With so much change in my own body, travel is a constant that I crave.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t let this stage in life press the pause button on living, loving life, and exploring,\u201d Slade says. \u201cThere are some amazing experiences out there waiting for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve learned through trial and error\u2014as well as talking to others in the thick of perimenopause\u2014how to navigate travel during this odd second puberty. Some of it involves embracing practicality, like wearing loose layers made from natural fabrics like bamboo or merino to better handle the random hot flash. I also always make sure to keep medications, a change of clothes (in case of a period leak or very intense sweats), and menstrual products in my carry-on within easy reach. (Cleansing wipes, in case you don\u2019t have access to a shower for a while, are also key.)<\/p>\n<p>Understanding your menopause symptom triggers is also important. Sugar, alcohol and caffeine<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/13697137.2020.1828854\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/13697137.2020.1828854\"> can exacerbate symptoms<\/a>, including sleep disruption, hot flashes and mood swings. Many of my friends have cut out all three and swear it\u2019s made them feel so much better; I\u2019m still working on it! Focused breathing can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/13697137.2018.1551344\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/13697137.2018.1551344\">lower anxiety and mood swings associated with perimenopause<\/a>. I use my Calm app religiously on the road; it helps me refocus and recenter when a new place threatens to throw me into overwhelm. And when all else fails, talk to your medical provider about options to help manage perimenopause symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no predicting when perimenopause symptoms will hit, how intense they\u2019ll be, or how long they will last. Each of us has their own threshold for discomfort, and addressing it is highly personal. I\u2019ll continue to navigate through it, advocate for myself with my care team, make the treatment choices that are right for me, and of course, compare notes with my dear friends who are also on the same hormonal rollercoaster.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing: I can\u2019t imagine life without the thrill of going to new places and meeting new people. With so much change in my own body, travel is a constant that I crave. While it\u2019s become more difficult and draining at times, I know it\u2019s more important than ever to keep getting out there, perhaps not just in spite of, but *because* of perimenopause. I need the connections, personal growth, and feeling of satisfaction being out in the world brings, as I balance this time of physical and mental transition. So I\u2019ll keep at it, giving myself plenty of grace and patience packed for good measure.<\/p>\n<p>Whether my period shows up, or not.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-thin post-citations mt-[40px] mb-[30px]\" data-module-init=\"main-2020\/post-citations\" data-module-immediate=\"true\">\n<hr class=\"!border-seafoam-dark mb-[24px]\"\/>\n<div class=\"post-citations-content flex flex-col gap-[24px]\">\n<p>Well+Good articles reference scientific, reliable, recent, robust studies to back up the information we share.
