Do you get anxious about traveling to new places, especially if you are on your own? If so, it can sometimes be helpful to have someone accompany you on your journey. If you think a travel buddy would be useful, let us know and we might be able to help.

In the meantime, here are a few tips we have put together for travelling to somewhere new:

• Plan the easiest route
• Only learn one new route at a time – start with walking to the local shop
• Do the route with someone else a few times first
• Plan with someone you trust what to do if something goes wrong
• Ensure your mobile phone has credit or enough data, calls and texts, and is fully charged so you can phone someone if you get stuck
