Relocating internationally for healthcare work poses challenges to maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Combat burnout abroad by scheduling regular vacation time and taking advantage of it to rest, travel, and refresh. Maintain boundaries and limit after-hours work when possible.
Establish new routines with healthy nutrition, consistent exercise, and proper sleep to manage stress. Make developing local friendships and community connections a priority for fulfillment beyond work. Pursue non-work hobbies that keep you grounded. Carve out dedicated personal time in your calendar. Stay in touch with loved ones back home. With intention, you can blend fulfilling work and adventures abroad while prioritizing self-care.
