Crabs, Culture, and Curiosity 🦀: Making the Most of Your Me-Time

Please provide a one-paragraph overview of the session.‎ (200 words or less): A follow-up from the recent NAGAP East Coast Conference session "From Twain to Bourdain", this session blends the wisdom of Mark Twain, who believed travel was the antidote to narrow-mindedness, with Anthony Bourdain’s vision of travel as a feast for the soul. As graduate recruiters, we spend countless hours on the road, but with the right mindset and a little strategy, recruitment travel can transform into a first-class adventure on an economy budget. From uncovering hidden food gems to carving out “me-time” between fairs, this session explores practical ways to recharge, find joy, and avoid burnout while traveling for work. Learn to rethink your itineraries, swap chain restaurants for local flavor, and make space for curiosity and connection. Travel does not have to feel like a grind; this session will help you make it memorable, meaningful, and even fun.
