When I first started traveling, I used to stress about the typical stuff; how to fit everything in my carry-on, how to make it to my connecting flight despite a short layover, and how to alleviate jet lag.
Now that I have more experience traveling, I’ve discovered other things that I never thought would impact my escapades around the globe. For example, birth control. You’d think it’s as easy as taking your pill daily as you usually do and nothing changes, right? Well, not necessarily.
I’ve been in nearly every situation imaginable. I’ve struggled to keep up with taking my birth control at my original time because I was in a completely different time zone. I’ve gotten food poisoning and puked shortly after swallowing my birth control. I’ve even completely run out of refills for my next pack of pills and didn’t realize it until after I already left for a baecation.
