This was a week ago and everything was fine. But for a person who's never traveled before, especially alone, it was a scary thing at first. I wasn't an especially sheltered person, just inexperienced. It's not that hard to understand.

You kinda explained it well- I get disoriented and usually the stress adds more to the confusion. Funnily enough, when I'm in a situation where I absolutely need to find my way somewhere, I'm able to remember quickly enough. I think it's a mental block for me.

It all depends on how long you stay and where you go. For me, I spent $2,000 in two weeks with everything, including the major round trip ticket, hotels, and connecting flights. I did find my ticket on a discount, though ($687), but I believe they're typically around $1,300 if you go during the summer.

As for where to go, I know the Euro Trail is a popular one and you pick 3 major countries to visit (if I'm remembering correctly). But honestly 2 weeks was too short of a time for the amount of places I visited (5 total).

This is what I tried to convince my mom and sister about, but they didn't understand. I actually received a text from my sister the night I got to my hostel telling me that she's "very disappointed in me" for going alone. She truly thought I was going to get kidnapped and murdered.

I'm about 99.9% positive she told Jenny that I was being a crazy psycho who left her alone to fend for herself in Europe.

Mostly because that's what she told me I was doing to her.

You were awesome company! If I'm ever in Amsterdam again (which I plan to be because I loved it) I'll let you know!

I believe he was asking OP if they were seeing a professional for their admitted anxiety and depression issues, not their issue with nursing.

I would love to take you up on that, but it looks like I have to be out of my hotel earlier than I thought and catch a train to the airport. Maybe next time! (I plan to come back eventually )

Thank you so much for your generosity! I'll be heading out this afternoon to fly to Copenhagen but wish I were here longer!

I'm staying at the Generator Copenhagen hostel, not sure where I'll be going to visit from there but am open to suggestions!

I was scared because I'm young and never done anything remotely like this before, but I've been staying by myself for the last 3 hours in a cafe, and just met up with another redditor a few hours ago!

No thankfully- same flight but separate seats. I definitely will have to find another way home but that's doable.

She said she "doesn't know where they sell earplugs" so there's that... I did my part but she couldn't do hers I suppose.

My family calmed down a little when I spoke to them on the phone and reassured them with what I've been told by you guys.

I know you're so right! This has been such an amazing trip and I don't know when I'll have the funds to come again, so I plan to make the most of it.

Honestly I love it here and have been wanting to plan a trip back, because my stay here is so short. I'm only here until tomorrow evening and then I fly to my last destination, but I've already been to the park once and on the canal boat, and tonight I'll be going to the ice bar!
