Many find themselves stressing over the very thing they have decided to do as a break from the constant stress cycle they have chosen for themselves. You can go into the city, or land in that country with little clue as to what you shall do, and whether one is with company, so long as they have a room to sleep in by the end of the day, allow the world to flourish for you. Explore and walk and merely see what is up. Why must it all be planned? Do you wish to see how a citizen would wander the city? Then do so. To minimalize a place and people down to a few items and monuments is a sure-fire way of missing the point. To explore.
Meditate.
