Only 2 days into an 8 week stay in Colombia. I already want to leave.
I'm in Colombia for 8 weeks for an internship related to my masters degree. I only arrived 2 days ago and I'm insanely lonely already. I have met a couple people through my internship and my airbnb host is perfectly nice, but I miss my family and friends already. I would never choose to travel alone. The only reason I'm doing it is because the internship was a great opportunity. I did not anticipate just how lonely I would feel. If I were here for a shorter time, I feel like I would enjoy it more. Knowing it's going to be 8 weeks before I'm around people who really know me again is really upsetting. I already knew going into this that solo travel probably wasn't for me, but I went anyway. Maybe that was a bad choice. I wish so badly that I could go home, but my time here is funded and i don't know what kind of trouble I would be in financially if I left (paying back the money?). I'm worried that I will feel this way the whole time. I can't stop crying. It feels like I'm going to be anxious and lonely for 8 weeks. Has anyone else felt like this? Does it go away? If I feel this terrible, should I just leave?
