As I’m writing this right now I’m currently sat on a plane from London to Poznan, Poland to go see my best friend! However (and as she’ll understand) I am overwhelmed and so freaking proud of myself with the fact I’m on the plane, on my own!
A year ago I flew to Amsterdam with my boyfriend and that was the first time flying without my family/parents etc and I was sh***ing myself then and guess what… nothing had changed. I’m not at all the most confident flyer, I don’t detest it however if there is an alternate route (excluding a plane) then I would much rather take that, it just makes me nervous and pushes my anxiety through the roof.
So I set off on my journey to Poland this morning at 9:30am, my boyfriend dropped me at the train station and I traveled to London Luton airport, I’m no stranger to trains as this is predominantly how I’ve traveled the majority of my life (apart from driving or being driven around), I arrived at the airport at around 11am, I went straight to the check in desk, sorted my bag out and headed through to security. This part was not actually the hard part, it was the boarding; seeing the plane – waiting in line etc. Once I got on the plane I began to write and now I’m about to watch a movie.
Overall, I just wanted to write a blog post to document this as for me personally it’s a huge step! I’m so incredibly proud of myself and I have no reason not to be.
Happy Hannah!
I’m going to now enjoy the rest of my holiday with my best friend!
**Editor Han here! Just a note to say I’ve been and come back from Poznan now, I had the most incredible time and am already planning to go back again next year!**
P.s we are flying back together so I should be okay.
Thank you for reading, as always.

Omg I’d be really scared to fly alone! It’s so cool that you did it, you’re right, you should feel really proud! 😀
