Especially when you travel, every time you arrive somewhere new, it’s usually dark. You are tired from the road everything looks strange, and your mind reads every face as a threat.
So – do not make any big decisions that night, or even early the next day.
Wait.

Spend a full day just walking around.
Find the best coffee in town and stay there for a while.
Talk to people. If the guy next to you seems chill, say hi. If not, talk to the waitress.

The first day in a new place doesn’t count.
You don’t have to make the most of it.
Sit in a quiet square and watch the rhythm of locals passing by.
Notice what smells good.

When evening comes, eat real food. Something with vitamins.
Avoid junk.
Sleep.

The place wont change overnight – but you will.
Once your body catches up, your mind starts to calm down.
Mood follows action.
