I’m typing this as I’m heading to the airport to visit my family in my home country. I have been postponing the trip for around a month because since last year, I find it extremely difficult to travel because of covid. But I used to love to travel before 2020 so I need to get rid of that fear.

I hate the crowds, the queues, the people talking out loud while waiting to board. And on top of that, I always travel on my own, so I don’t have a trip buddy who I can talk to in order to lessen the stress.

However, in order to avoid the loud noise, I play my favourite music on my headphones (mostly lofi) and this has helped during my last trip. 

If only I could also get rid of the stomach aches, the shortness of breath and the insomnia I get two days before I travel…
