Tongariro Alpine Crossing, New Zealand. Travelling solo with anxiety

If you're wanting to try solo travel but are feeling anxious about it, please let my experience show you that you can do it, and enjoy it!! Back in 2009 I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and developed such bad agoraphobia and panic attacks I was trapped in my house for almost a year. To mark a decade of gradual recovery I decided to test my limits and book a six-week solo trip to the OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD. I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan, and I was determined to save as much money as I could to get to the home of Middle-earth, New Zealand, and explore as much as possible. Then Covid happened and it was delayed by three years, but eventually I made it! Every single one of my triggers was tested, but it was the best thing I've ever done and I'm already planning my next solo trip!
