1. Learn to make your own decisions

At home, you always know where to shop or where to buy your favorite soy milk and fried dough sticks. However, when traveling elsewhere, you might be completely unfamiliar with your surroundings. You have to make decisions constantly—from choosing restaurants and accommodation to figuring out bus and subway routes. You might feel a bit lost at first, but over time, you will grow more confident and become faster and more adept at making choices. As you gain confidence in your decision-making, it becomes a valuable skill that brings a genuine sense of accomplishment.
