How a few simple habits cured my solo travel anxiety for good | Mexico diaries

I was a bit intimidated to travel to Mexico City which happened to be the largest city in North America. So many people (9M), voices and noise, and places to see. I won't lie, I thought for months if I should go there alone at all because traveling alone to a place like that has to come with mental preparation and habits that I can rely on to relieve my travel anxiety. I made it! I'm in Mexico City and I couldn't be happier that I chose to go despite all the concerns.
