At 7:45 a.m., I waited for my United Airlines<\/a> flight to New Orleans<\/a> as a thick blanket of fog covered the morning sky, delaying my flight a bit. It was my first time traveling alone for fun, and I was nervous.<\/p>\n

I’m used to traveling with family or friends, and I hadn\u2019t truly taken a real vacation since before the pandemic. I spent days planning how I\u2019d make the most of my time in New Orleans, but I was still so nervous about exploring a completely unfamiliar place on my own.<\/p>\n
