  • From experience: chill out. Do your homework in the background to ensure you understand train stations, airports, city centers. I’m that guy, I try to memorize maps for weeks before a trip. (I enjoy this).

    Then when you are there just go with the vibe. Try to make things seem casual and carefree.

    If the attraction is too crowded: oh well. Let’s just get coffee and stroll the city center.

    If the rental car gets a flat: oh well. Let’s just have a picnic while we handle this little tire thing. (Safety off the road of course)

    A little slow at a train station waiting for a connection? Let’s review our photos and pick some favorites.

    You can see my thread is: have a plan of how things should go, but then be ready to have a “zero-speed” alternative in your head that boils down to: “I’m spending time with my gf in a new place, and that’s enough”
