Isn’t this the basis of zomb100? Where his work life was so shit that when a literal zombie apocalypse happened he finally started living the life he wanted. And it wasn’t that he dreamt of survival and shooting dead people, just a bucket list of cool things to do.

Anyway, I can relate.

This manager at least decides to park it rather than doubling down which honestly already puts her better than many.

Create a checklist of things to pack, bring or prepare. Helps to know you definitely packed 3 sets of clothes and have your passport ready.

Keep all your paperwork in a file easily accessible. Try to print stuff if you can because that doesn’t run out of battery.

If you’re the type to fret over prices, have a currency exchange rate ready so you know how much things will cost in your currency. Just a good mental shorthand reference. Have it be what you exchanged it for at the time not whatever the current rate is.
