JoshTimmins Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'm going to make plans for a trip, I'm not sure where though, so I need some tipsand advicr for first time travellers, I have nobody to go with, so I will mostly be alone, I been abroad before, I'm half American half British and live in the UK. I don't know how my social anxiety and generalise anxiety will impact my choices. I done CBT, I do know how to manage the anxiety attacks, but confidence and pushing myself is tough. There 7 places out of my list, Spain, Germany, Iceland Scotland Australia and New Zealand. I was hoping to do the working holiday visa, but never had the courage to do it, I'm 29 years old now. 30 in October. I like to do something when I travel, something more than sight seeing and seeing wildlife and historic places which I am passionate about doing work or volunteering. Maybe go on shorter trips first?

slushy Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 First of all, resources. couchsurfing.com - Hosts offer free temporary housing. Most hosts are good, warm, welcoming people who just want to chat and learn about your travels, but occasionally you'll find a creepy host, and you're faced with a decision of whether or not you want to flee the only housing you have available. Be careful. workaway.info - How to earn money while traveling outside of your homeland. I trust you know about craigslist.org, for virtually all your travel needs. And other than that, I, myself, am planning a trip to Iceland and Spain to begin in May! Iceland has a penis museum, undersea caves, and tectonic plate action. And it's cold. Backpacking Spain's "El Camino de Santiago" is supposed to be gorgeous, enlightening, life-changing. And the Spanish have a reputation for being warm and welcoming. I've been to Australia & New Zealand, but this was over a decade ago. If it still exists, I recommend Auckland's MERC: I think that stands for Marine Education Recreation Center? But I was but a teen when I visited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slushy Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Also, it's probably safer to start with baby steps. Make your first trip abroad a little one. You'll probably learn a lot. And you'll be better equipped for your next trip, since you learned from your first trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
