Due to its flourishing business districts and population of corporations, many businesspeople travel to New York City. While many travelers can't wait to land in the city that doesn't sleep,' being away from home can be emotionally taxing. A solution to reversing homesickness is attempting to make your hotel in NY feel more like home.

Oftentimes, a larger room is not much more expensive; and, most New York hotels host specials for business travelers. Next time, be proactive; don't settle for the room you are given, see if you can find a larger room for close to the same price.

The notion of putting clothes away may seem preposterous, aren't you just going to have to put your clothes back in the bag in a few days anyway?

Rituals may involve how they dress in the morning, how they relax after a day's work, how they prepare to go to bed at night, etc. While it is likely to get thrown off course during your stay in an NY hotel room, try to maintain common routines. For instance, lay clothes out for the following morning, leave your toothbrush by the toothpaste in the bathroom, bring a book to read before falling asleep, etc. Maintaining rituals combats homesickness and makes travelers feel more at home.
Missing one's family and friends is mostly the cause of homesickness. While many of your hours in New York may focus on business, be sure to maintain contact with people from home who are important to you when you have some free time. You may find that talking to loved ones for just minutes a day can really make a big difference in your immediate happiness. In addition, take along pictures and keepsakes that remind you of your family and friends.
