[acc-trig title=”Optional: Do you have any final words of wisdom or advice? If yes, do tell.”]
[acc-begin]

Couples match and when you travel do it with some friends. Hit up spas/saunas, waterslides, etc. Don’t jam pack your interviews, space them out and enjoy the cities with your best friends or significant other. This is then a vacation rather than a stressor, AND you’re way more interesting in small talk than others.
