Mental break down on solo traveling in general and to Brazil
No clue if this is the right place but seeing as it's about traveling, I thought I'd leave it here.
[22] Lately, I've been experiencing times where I've said no to things and wondered what would've happened if I said yes? There was a time where I wanted to go and see Old Harry Rocks, which are three chalk formations. Neither of my friends wanted to go, nor my dad, and me feeling left out or put on hold because I got no one to go with made me feel bad and at the same time frustrated. In the end, I planned it out, went alone and enjoyed my time!
Now, I plan on going to Brazil in August to spend one week in Rio and possibly the second week with a friend who lives in President Prudente. I'm all focused on going but what's holding me back is my dad who is very worried about the destination I've chosen. He's quite an old timer btw. I can't tell if it's the media that has affected him or what but he said to me this "Brazil is a dangerous place. Why not go to Japan which is safer?". Straight away I replied with me saying that no matter where you go in the world there will always be a place that is dangerous. Sure, Brazil got a high rate of criminal activity but if I stick to the route then I should be fine, right? I felt neither replies were solid enough to agree on but it holds some truth. He's so persistent that he's even offered me money to not go and that makes me feel like I'm on hold, and how would I know if I'll be on hold again if I wanted to go somewhere else? Any idea how I can fix this dilemma? I just get worried that I might not be capable of it.
On the subject of what I've done and seen - I've only been to Thailand, countless times of course as we enjoy it there. Also, lived there too! Lived in Chun Buri. I've mainly done most of what there is to do down in the south of Thailand anyway. What I look forward to Brazil are exotic food, architecture and the culture.
