Social anxiety and backpacking for the first time
I'm 29 now, from the UK and fed up of my boring job on a family run farm the weather and all that. I always wanted to travel, but lacked the confidence to do it and get out there, enjoy life, experience new things, but unsure where to start and looking for advice on first time travelling abroad alone.
Australia and New Zealand on a working holiday for a few months, where I can travel, do something and experience new things seem attractive to me, those are top two of the many places I like to go, but unsure which one first, I'll be 30 in Autumn. So not much time.
I'm unsure how my social anxiety and generalised anxiety, lack of social skills would impact my travels, and whether it's a bad idea to do it especially somewhere quite far? Or would it be best to start somewhere close to home like Ireland or mainland Europe?
I don't know if I'll like it in the end despite really wanting to get out there and travel. I don't have anyone to go with me. But it's been my passion for a long time.
I've done online CBT, it' helped with knowing how to deal with anxiety attacks, but that's about it. I been abroad many times to Singapore to visit relatives, but that's about it. I see time flying past and I really love to go out on an adventure, enjoy life and see beyond my comfort zone...but unsure if I should leave it as juat a dream.
