Getting anxious about my trip to Patagonia
Patagonia has been on my bucket list since I started a bucket list...but I never thought I'd actually get there.
Welp...I'm going! In about 7 weeks. And I. am. TERRIFIED.
I was so excited to book it, to plan for it, to shop and pack for it, to daydream about it...now, here I am, past the point of a refund, freaking the f*ck out because, well...I'm a big baby. Many of you seasoned solo travelers and long-term travelers may not be able to relate to this, I know.
Reasons why I'm anxious:
- It's farther than I've ever been. The longest plane ride(s), too.
- My Spanish is shite.
- I'll be solo (duh). It'll be my first solo trip outside of the US in several years.
- I'm worried that my knee and back problems will slow me down on the W.
- I'm convinced that I won't connect with anyone over there and that I'll feel incredibly lonely.
- I've been so dependent on my phone and internet connection for work, and despite wanting/needing a break, it's distressing me to think I'll be without the option.
Full disclosure, I have horrible, horrible anxiety about pretty much e v e r y t h i n g. Just hoping for some support from fellow solo travelers that have experienced similar apprehension when a trip is approaching.
