I’m excited and nervous all in the same breath.
Yesterday was my last day of work so now it is countdown to leaving time.
The main problem is that I ended up talking about my plans to so many people and there were basically 2 types of reaction.
“Wow your so brave I could never travel alone”
“I’m so jealous”
The second is a good reaction for me, it confirms that I am doing the right thing and that everything will be fine (not that I need their approval but you know it helps).
But the first started to sew seeds of doubt in my mind.
Am I under-prepared?
What if I can’t find a shop?
Will I get lonely?
I really don’t know how to fix the electrics in my van well enough on my own do I?
What if I don’t get something right and someone starts shouting at me in a language I don’t understand?
FOMO for all the adventures my friends will be having while I’m gone…
These are all things that I always knew were possibilities but I have been carefully glazing over and pushing to the back of my mind. All of these things are surmountable. And I have a bit of a plan to avoid most of them being a big problem.
But still… They are concerns
