Why It Happens
Traveling often involves navigating unfamiliar environments, managing schedules, and handling logistical challenges.

Tips for Prevention
Keep travel itineraries simple and avoid overpacking activities.
Take regular breaks and ensure adequate rest each day.
Use visual aids like maps or reminders to reduce confusion.
Travel with a companion if possible, or stay in accommodations with accessible staff support.
Practice relaxation techniques, like deep breathing, meditation, or light stretching.
