Travel isn’t always a positive experience. Just like at home, you’ll have bad days and trying times on the road. You’ll get sick, miss home, lose your passport or just feel so untethered that nothing feels real anymore.

When that happens, take a deep breath and just stick with it. At worst, you can always cut your trip short and go home. At best, you’ll come out of the experience stronger and with a story that may be funny in retrospect.

Whatever you do, don’t let go.
