Advice for getting over travel regret?
Hello
I have some really bad travel regret. Last month I took a trip all the way to South America - expensive and not in my comfort zone. Didn't speak Spanish and had no experience travelling South America - my fault, I know. Someone I knew invited me initially but it turned into more of a solo trip. I was held hostage by a verbally abusive man and although I am not physically hurt, the effect on my mental health has been really difficult for me. It has also affected my heart and there were many times I thought I was going to have a heart attack. This should probably go in a mental health sub but I wanted some comfort from other travellers who have had experiences like this. I don't want it to destroy my future travel experiences. I often beat myself up about the cost or why I even went to a place that I wasn't interested in and didn't feel totally safe travelling around. I often think "what if I just picked somewhere else instead". I'm so grateful that I am alive and well but I often feel really guilty about it or bad about doing something like this to myself.
