Ok, so... I'm not really scared to death. But I'm a little scared of going to do this. I've traveled on my own a whole bunch all across the U.S., and I've always had a place to live, somewhere.
I have never been abroad and had to get setup with a place to live and all that.
Is there anyone that can relate with this feeling? I am most scared of limiting my entire life to a backpack and some clothes.
I have never "left my life behind" before. It's scary, and there are so many associated emotions I can't even begin to get into it.
I guess there are probably a lot of folks who have been on this same path before, leaving and so forth... part of me is just so scared to do it.
Any advice?
I am sorry if I sound like a total pansy, like I am brave at so many other things besides this, and apparently even though I've traveled the entire U.S. on my own, leaving my "homeland" behind is something that has got me rather... concerned.
A.) I don't know *any* German. I took Spanish in H.S.
B.) No job lined up, although I have been picking up some pretty good remote work lately
C.) Will probably be traveling over there with between $3K-$4K... not sure if that's enough
D.) Leaving the U.S. behind is really scary
