First solo international trip — what I was nervous about and why I was wrong

Posted by Amber Wu

📍 New Haven , CT


I was nervous about: eating alone in restaurants (fine, bring a book), getting lost (happened, led to best discoveries), something going wrong with no backup (handle it, feels great after), and loneliness (some evenings, less than expected). I was not nervous about: safety, which deserved more thought in some places.
