If you're feeling anxious about taking a big trip alone, look at the drive as an opportunity to enjoy some time to yourself. As long as you plan for traveling and prepare for emergencies, you should safely manage the drive. Pack snacks, dress comfortably, and bring your favorite music. Then, relax and enjoy the solitude as you put the miles behind you.
Tip: You might want to have your friends or family check on your place while you're gone. Give them keys so they can get into your home if necessary.
Tip: See if your local library allows you to borrow CDs. This is a good way to enjoy some new music on the trip.
Tip: To help you feel refreshed, open your windows every once in a while. The fresh air can help you stay alert.
