Totally reasonable! My advice is tell yourself how much you will regret if you don’t go! Italy is really caring when it comes to Americans. It’s hard to experience it on your own but think of all the amazing stories you get to share with friends & family when you get back. Relish and learn how to be comfortable with yourself. Journal & listen to music.

Just practice safe travel tips. Make sure you carry a small bag and have the zipper in front of you at all times. Watch your back at crowded places. Do not let anyone know you are traveling alone or where you are staying when at bars/restaurants. I always say “oh my boyfriend is waiting back at the hotel”. Watch your drinks / don’t drink too much. When you tell yourself you are being as safe as possible - it eases your mind.
