​Healthcare Professionals who travel are constantly moving from place to place. It's hard to take the time to make your temporary housing feel like home when you have a new job, new facility and so much to deal with already. There are a few ways to cozy it up and make it more comfortable so that you have a restful place to come home to in your off duty time. 

You can try bringing some throws from home. They are decorative and you can always use them to cuddle up in front of the TV too. Bring your favorite sleeping pillow of course. Candles, incense or sprays can also help your place feel more like home. Bring your favorite scents from home. Decorate your new place. Hang up your favorite pictures or wall decals.There are lots of ways to decorate without leaving any marks on the walls. Just check your local superstore or hardware store. And hang up family pictures if you like to see your loved ones. My baby wall, a baby picture of each of my children, moves with me everywhere I go. 

Make your new home feel like home whatever way works for you! It's all about being comfortable and relaxed during your down time so you can get proper rest and stay healthy. Safe Travels!
