Returning From A Bleisure Trip? What Should You Do?
After returning from a half-business, half-personal (Bleisure) trip to New Orleans, here are some steps you can take to wrap up your trip effectively:
-
Organize Your Receipts: Compile and categorize receipts for both the business and personal aspects of your trip. Separate them for expense reporting (business) and personal tracking.
-
Follow Up on Business Contacts: Send emails or LinkedIn messages to individuals you met during the business part of your trip, thanking them for their time and keeping the connection fresh.
-
Review Your Expenses: For the business portion of the trip, ensure that all relevant expenses are logged in your expense report software or system, along with notes to clarify any business-related expenses.
-
Plan Future Follow-ups: Schedule reminders or set tasks for any follow-up meetings or connections you made during the trip.
-
Unwind and Reflect: Since your trip also had a personal side, take time to unwind and reflect on the personal experiences—whether you visited new places or connected with friends and family. This balance helps rejuvenate you for work!
-
Share Insights: If applicable, share any insights or learnings from your New Orleans trip on platforms like LinkedIn or within your company, especially if the business portion offered new opportunities or industry insights.
