Oh the anticipation of traveling internationally for the very first time!
I can still remember in acute detail the anticipation I felt before studying abroad in Australia my junior year of college. True, it wasn’t actually my first time overseas, but the furthest I’d been from home before was a two week tip to England with my family five years before. I’d never been to another country for a considerable amount of time and never without my parents and siblings.
The week before my travel day, my mind was rife with worries, ranging from how I would find housing and learn to navigate living in the large city of Melbourne, to how I would make friends and fit in in a new society to what it would be like being away from the United States for a whole six month and how this would affect my friendships.
I was so nervous before this first solo venture overseas that my anxiety outweighed my excitement, at least in the days leading up to the start of my adventure. And yet, after I arrived in Melbourne and began actually living my new life abroad, I found the experience to be more rewarding than I had ever imagined. Australia turned me into a traveler and launched for me thousands of travel moments. Since then, I’ve also lived in Spain and Costa Rica and now Los Angeles where I get to travel back to Australia on business.
I now love living and being abroad, but since I remember how nerve-wracking it can be going abroad for the first time, I wanted to share with you some insight and advice to help you prepare for your first time traveling internationally.
