2 Week Solo Trip US->UK For Work, First Trip Alone - Advice?
So work sprung on me last week that I'm needed at their office kind of in the middle of nowhere (seems to me anyway) by Warwick in the UK. I'm leaving around May 12th and returning May 26th. I've never been to the country, and it looks like I'll be needing to pick up a rental car when I get into London (never driven overseas so I'm a bit freaked by that too) and beyond work I have no idea what to do with myself there.
During typical M-F 9-5 hours I'll be working, but I'm lost as to what I can possibly do in my free time. I'll be bringing my laptop and a game console in the event I feel totally uncomfortable and want to hide in my hotel, but if I feel brave enough I'd like to make the most of this trip.
Things I possibly would like to check out
-
Food - I've got $100 a day work pays for, fine paying out of my pocket for any amazing experiences. It'd be cool if there were any unique or famous restaurants I could check out, or even a dive bar or pub.
-
Sights - Who knows when/if I'll ever be back to the UK, so anything beautiful I can check out, would be nice
-
Nightlife - We'll see how brave I am since I'm by myself and usually that isn't my comfort zone, but I'm an electronic music addict, so any big clubs or events on the weekend I've got there would be cool
-
Relaxation - I've been massively stressed by my job's demands as of late, so massage, quiet places in nature that aren't too remote, anything I can do to soothe and stay sane helps.
Rental car in hand, about 2 hours NW of London, knowing nothing about the UK, anyone got ideas what I can get into? I think I'll only have one weekend completely free of arrival/departure so anything else needs to be an evening thing.
On that note as an anxious person does anyone have any advice as to how to stay calm? The last thing I want is an anxiety attack or breakdown alone and far away from home.
