How do you deal with uncertainty?

Trollstigen down to Geiranger. I got so scared of the other drivers on the road that I cried. I try breathing exercises & focusing on the present no matter how hard it may be.

I focus on one day/thing at a time when my anxiety creeps in. By doing that I don’t feel overwhelmed. We made it down to Geiranger & made the choice to take the ferry out. It was a tourist trap & the 30 minutes we spent there was more than adequate.

I take uncertainty by breathing through it. There isn’t much else I can do. By staying in the present & being grateful for it. I feel I can tackle whatever comes my way.

What’s a moment when you realized you were officially an adult?

I think I realized I was an adult when I went through customs while traveling. I can remember being really stressed & sweating as I didn’t know what questions they’d ask.

I think of all the traveling I’ve done-I’ve become used to their questions & being searched. One time cause I had a sandwich with cod eggs on it.

Nothing major, just a sandwich & that was before I learned to pack light. I remember I had to dig through my 30lbs backpack to find it, something that was really embarrassing.

Anyway, I think it’s healthy to travel as a young adult because it teaches you how to be in different scenarios. Also, how to handle them.
