I'm heading to the Emirates for the first time next month for the stadium tour. Although I'm super excited, I also have horrible travel anxiety and I'm really worried that I'm going to be a nervous wreck during my short time in London so I won't be able to enjoy myself.

It's a really shitty thing to have, everything that should be an enjoyable leisure trip becomes a frightening challenge. Nonetheless, I need to face my fears and maybe things will turn out okay and I'll have a blast.

The stadium tour is a religious experience. Have fun!!

Hey mate, I live in North London, not too far from the Emirates. London can be an overwhelming place for everyone, and if you need any help with traveling from a to b, advice, or just someone to catch a drink with and chill for a while let me know

Your kindness makes me want to come to London to just hang and see the Emirates as well.

London's a great hang city, tonnes of great pubs and little neighbourhoods to explore without having to venture into the city proper. Also, it's where Arsenal are so that's something too

I too want to go to London now to have a beer with @bilboshagginz@lemmy.world...

It's a very nice gesture :)

Good luck my man. The Ashburton Grove is magnificent in person and the tour is definitely worth it.

Great job facing your fears! The Emirates is beautiful, you will definitely enjoy it.

That sounds quite debilitating. But, I really hope you manage to push through and have some fun on your trip!

Maybe focus on how much you are looking forward to the tour? :D

(Have some fun for me while you're there too, please 😁)
