Living in the moment as someone who likes everything planned

Hi all

I am going on a solo interrail trip for 6 weeks starting this weekend. I have been on solo trips before but they were only 3 day city breaks, so this will be my first longer solo trip and across multiple cities.

I am a very Type A person especially when it comes to travel. I like everything planned ahead of time, booked and scheduled. I would even do one of those custom Google Maps with all the pins for everything I wanted to do and restaurants and bars I wanted to go to. But I have found this can lead to disappointed and anxiety for me when things don't go to plan or I have found that I packed too much into a day and I feel obligated to do all the activities because I have already paid for them. And with this trip being so much longer and going to so many places I know it is just not possible to do the same level of planning.

So for this upcoming trip I want to try to be a bit more free. Now I have booked all accommodation in advance because there is a limited to me living in the moment and my anxiety could not deal with not knowing where and when I was in each place. It is also summer so places will get booked up and I wanted to make sure I am staying in the places that I liked.

However in regards my day to day activities I have not booked a single thing or have not really looked up too much of what there is to do. The only this I have in mind is to do a walking tour in most places I go to. I want to keep my options open and see where the trip takes me while I am in each city. I do find myself as the trip is days away getting anxious about the lack of planning I have done for what I am doing in each place. I don't want to miss out on great activities or not get the most out of the trip that I can but I really want to try and not plan everything so much.

So I was wondering if there is anyone like me who is usually a plans a trip to an inch of it's life and then tried to be more in the moment, how did it go and what did you do in regards planning and figuring out what to do in each destination when you got there.

Or if there is anyone who usually just lives in the moment on trips how you plan and figure out what to do in each destination.
