If possible, take off extra layers of clothing. Lightweight fabrics like silk, chiffon, thin cotton, and linen are the best choices for extreme heat. In addition, try to wear white and other light colors, which can help beat the heat by reflecting sunlight. If you can't get to an air conditioner or an electric fan, fanning yourself by hand can help lower your temperature. The key is to use a fan (or an improvised object) with a broad surface area and to avoid fanning yourself too vigorously. If your fanning motions are too fast, they'll get your blood pumping and make you hotter. Gentle motions can help the sweat on your skin evaporate, which helps lower your temperature. Dampening your skin with cool water while fanning yourself is also helpful. Try sitting comfortably and taking slow, deep breaths. As you inhale, count to 4, then hold your breath as you count to 7, and exhale for an 8 count. Do your controlled breathing exercises for at least 10 to 15 minutes to reduce your heart rate and lower your core temperature. If it helps, put on some relaxing music or recordings of soothing nature sounds, like crashing waves or humpback whale songs. You could also give meditation a try. You can find guided meditations for relaxation on YouTube and other services. Relaxation techniques can help you cool off if you're experiencing hot flashes. Fill a small basin with cold water and ice, then place your feet inside. Soak them for 15 minutes at a time to prevent ice burns. Add ice or refill the basin with cold water when it starts to get warm. If you want to reduce a fever, a lukewarm bath is better than a cold bath. Submerging yourself in cold water can cause shivering, which can increase your body temperature. If you don't have access to a tub, try using a damp sponge, washcloth, or sheet. Having a fan blowing on you while you bathe or sponge yourself can also be effective.

Some hotels may refer to the front desk simply as "Reception" or the "Reception Desk." This is normally located near the main entrance of the hotel where you checked in for your stay. With your baggage in tow, go to the front desk worker, give them your keys, and settle payment for your stay. When you arrive at the front desk, say something like, "Hi, I've been staying in room 222 and I'd like to check out." Ask for an itemized receipt for your total bill. Fraud is relatively common at hotels. If your hotel refuses to give you a receipt, this may be a red flag. An itemized receipt is generally required to get reimbursement for expenses on a business trip. Be sure to ask for one when traveling on business. More and more, hotels are using online tools to make your stay more convenient. Some hotels may offer an online checkout. To find out if the hotel you're staying at has an online checkout, look for this information online at the hotel's website or ask the front desk. Many online check out services will send a bill to your email address, though you may be able to request that a physical bill be sent to your home. If you've decided to pay cash for any of the services you've received at the hotel or to resolve penalties, ask for an itemized receipt. Compare this to your total receipt to make sure you weren't charged twice for the same thing. If a "clerical error" occurs and the hotel doesn't have a record of your payment, you may have to pay this fee again if you don't have a receipt.

You can use any camera you have your phone, a small point-and-shoot, or a DSLR. Taking photos outside requires you to really focus in on the nature around you. Look for unusual colors, patterns, or animals to photograph. A botanical garden is a great place to visit to take photos, because the displays are usually arranged in eye-catching ways. You can also visit a nature preserve and looking for photo opportunities with animals or plant life. You can take a journal outside with you or wait until you get home to write. Describe what you smelled or heard or saw, and how you felt being outside. For example, you could focus on one thing while you're outside - the way flowers work, or the bird calls you hear. Then write as much as you can about your focus. You can also use your experience outside to tap into your emotions. How did sitting outside make you feel? Describe your emotions. You can make art while you're still outside, or you can get artistic after you get home. You can paint or draw or sculpt what you see, or go for a more abstract piece that reflects how you felt about your time in nature. It can be helpful to take a photo of what you want to paint or sculpt so you have a reference when you get home. You can paint a particular plant or animal that you saw that caught your attention. You can also paint something more abstract, using paint to express how being outside made you feel. If you want to maintain your interest in nature, think about starting a blog. You can use it to write entries about the things and feelings you experience while you're out in nature. For example, you could write entries about new nature preserves you've seen, flowers you've never encountered before, and other exciting nature experiences.
