Many of us have felt it. That sick feeling that seeps into your stomach. You anxiously wonder if your alarm clock will wake you up in time to catch that early morning flight. Or you feel intense anxiety about whether you’ll be safe exploring a new city on your own. How do we manage anxiety and mental health when we’re abroad?
