What Keeps Travellers Awake at Night

  1. Did I pick the right place — the right destination, the right hotel.
  2. What if it’s nothing like the photos.
  3. I should have booked that place in Portugal when I saw it — it’s probably sold out now.
  4. Everyone on Instagram makes travel look effortless. Why does it feel like a project.
  5. I haven’t taken a proper holiday in three years.
  6. My partner wants one thing, I want another, and we’re running out of time to decide.
  7. If I don’t book now someone else will.
  8. What if I get there and just feel like myself again.
