Reducing stress and anxiety has never been harder for travelers! With more than 1 billion domestic air traveler trips every year, travelers face unprecedented amounts of stress in their everyday lives. The good news is that talking about their travels with another traveler is one of the best ways to reduce stress and anxiety while travelling. The following 6 tips will help get you started:

Always have a plan

One of the best ways to start a new travel conversation is to write it all out in writing. Whether you’re travelling with a group or on your own, having a plan will help avoid getting lost in the weeds of details. Travel plans are often very technical, A good travel plan will include things like where to meet up with others, how to get to and from cities, Tapped Player etc.

Keep in mind, however, that a travel plan is only as good as its components. If something doesn’t fit into any of your specific travel plans, it’s likely a red flag and you should probably defer taking that trip.

Keep it light

While travelling light can help reduce anxiety and stress, it’s important to make an effort to put your best foot forward. Goal setting is always a good idea, but when you’re on the move, it’s especially important to make sure you’re following good travel practices. Take it one step further and make sure you’re putting your best foot forward when you have a partner on the trip.

Keep in mind that travelling with a partner can feel strange. Most of the time, you’ll have a separate travel bag with everything you need for the trip. While travelling with a partner, however, you’ll likely be using the same bag you use for your travel. Taking care of your travel partner is always a better option than throwing away the key and having to start all over again!

Ask your traveler first

Travelling with a partner is a great way to start a conversation with a trapped player. Try to be as general as possible, but specific enough so that you can put yourself in another’s shoes.

“I’m originally from New York City and this is my first trip abroad.”

“I’m originally from New Mexico and this is my first trip abroad.”

“I’ve been travelling for almost a decade and I’m just so overwhelmed by everything that’s going on in the world right now.”

These types of questions are great opportunities to start a meaningful conversation that will last a long time. Travelling with your partner will allow you to see the world in a new way, while also letting you learn a lot about one another.

Help each other out

When travelling with a group, you’re likely going to encounter many people who just want to chat.

“I was just wondering if you ever got your passport stamped.”

“We were wondering if you were going to the zoo.”

“Did you mean to miss out on something?”

“Have you ever wondered where your next meal is going to come from?”

These types of questions are some of the best ways to start a dialogue with a traveler. You may have no idea where to begin, but a listening ear is always a great starting point.

Take good photos

Travel photography is always a great way to start a talk with your travel partner. If you’re travelling with a small group, or with friends who are on the same social path as you, take some of your best photos.

“My favorite thing to do while on the adventure is to go on a photo shoot.”

“This place is so beautiful, I just want to stay here forever.”

These types of photos are great for starting a conversation with your partner. You may not get the chance to take many pictures of yourself while on the trip, but the photos you take will tell your friend that you found the perfect place.

Wrap up with a little cuddle

There will be times when you’re just trying to survive, and times when you just want to cuddle.  but cuddling up with your partner or another traveler can help you ease the anxiety and stress that comes with it.

Travelling by yourself can be exhausting and lonely. Cuddling up can also help you feel more relaxed, which will help you sleep better, and help you have a more pleasant experience on your trip.

If you and your partner are already connected on Facebook, LinkedIn, or other social networks, try adding a few words or phrases that you and your friend can use in an official language when you’re together.
