How long can I be away without crashing?

Use this page to think through trip length in terms of your real body and life, not just airline deals or vacation days.

Quick answer: Look at how many big days your body normally tolerates in a row, how long you usually crash for, and how many buffer and recovery days you can protect. Trips are easier to carry when you plan fewer big days, more quiet days, and real recovery time at home.
1. Your usual pattern Start here

Before deciding how long to travel, notice how your body reacts to busy stretches at home.

Think about busy days with lots of movement, noise or social energy.

Pain, fatigue, mood, thinking, sleep; whatever shows up first.

2. This specific trip

Now connect your usual pattern to the actual trip you are considering.

Travel days + heavy activity days.

Moments for rest, low-stimulation activities or staying close to your base.

Days after the trip with lower expectations and fewer commitments.

3. Does this trip length fit your body?

Use this section to write an honest summary and note any changes you want to make.

Shorter stay, fewer big days, different order of days, more recovery at home, etc.
