A1: 3 things - Patience, Patience, and Patience!
No matter what you do, just know that losing patience will not help at all!

A1 Difficult travel conditions (esp. air) are best handled in a calm, Zen-like disposition before you go. I use visualization of each step & see myself composed, positive, cooperative yet affirmative for a good outcome for myself & anyone near me. #TTOT Image: @pixabay

A2: I think past experiences and lessons learnt are a great way to start and we should look thru those and see what steps we may take to avoid them or at least reduce the impact.

Have realistic expectations before u travel. As in life, trips don't always go as planned. This is ok. Have a support network. Create a self care kit for anxiety attacks. Look after your sleep/health. Practice journaling & healthy self talk. #TTOT #mentalhealth #travel #traveltip https://t.co/Vjibh2Z3bF

A3: I love solo trips! I would add and say that even if you love company keep into account the type of company you keep for these trips. As I feel "No company "is always better than "Bad company"

For my 1st trip I traveled with friends. I had a support network & someone to talk to whom I trusted. My next trip was solo, which makes it easier to withdraw & ruminate, but also offers the chance to reach out & connect with other travelers for some inspiring interactions #TTOT https://t.co/48gVa4L71a

A3 Decisions regarding solo or group travel to improve one’s mental health are individual & need medical advice. No one size fits all. If a person is vulnerable & unfamiliar with travel, it may be best to have an organized trip or a qualified companion. Image @pixabay #TTOT

"Every time you think you’ve seen it all, there’s another hallway or tunnel to explore. And if it’s not blocked off or caved in, it’s fair game. You’ll feel like a real explorer as you climb around and discover."
