    Get yourself a small bottle of rescue remedy (sorry, it's not cheap!) but a few drops on the tongue when you think panic might set in does wonders. It keeps for ever as it is alcohol based.

    Some years ago I flew with a friend to Italy. Just as we were about to take off she muttered 'This is when John holds my hand 'cos I get so nervous!'  I am not quite the happiest flyer so I told her we would both have to have rescue remedy now ! Catastrophe averted.

    When travelling just make sure you have enough 'spare' time- time to sit/stand & catch your breath.
    You can always ask other travellers for help- they won't all be foreigners. (In UK! & in Holland almost everyone speaks perfect English.)
     Nice to learn a couple of phrases
    Thank you: Dank u wel 
      Good Morning- you need to hear that one! Just google & you can listen

    It's an adventure so enjoy!
    A bottle of water with rescue remedy has accompanied me to many work presentations and interviews.😉
