Why I feel afraid to go abroad?

[Anonymous]

I'm 25 years old, and I've never gone abroad yet. Frankly, I'm afraid to go abroad. I don't know why, but maybe because of my English or I feel late... Have you experienced such a thing? How did you overcome this?

It's natural to be afraid of something that you have never done before. You have to realize that this is not fear per se but a healthy apprehension or indication by your mind to not be complacent and to be alert as you're doing something that you haven't done before. When you do it few times then your mind will understand that you can take care of yourself and this apprehension will turn into appreciation. So just be vigilant, aware and enjoy yourself, best of luck.

I’ve traveled to lots of countries where I didn’t speak the language.

Is it a little scary? Yes! It’s an adventure! Go into a restaurant and order something. Take a chance! Will you like what you order? Who knows! But you’ll remember it and have that memory, that experience.

In my experience if you are polite and make an effort, people will forgive that your language isn’t the best. Saying “Please” and “thank you” goes a long way all across the world.

It is an easy transition if you have a market desired skill. I know plenty of people who work overseas. They either are in some form of engineering, computers, oil, or pharma, or teaching English. Use your job skill and company will handle the language
And, with today’s technology one can speak 🗣 English into phone at it comes out in mother country language.
—For instance, WT2 earpieces are great for no hands as long as app and Bluetooth are on phone. Itranslate and Google translate ought to get you through language issues.

You will feel aprahensive because you will be out of your comfort zone.
Just go. Be adventurous. It will be the best thing youve ever done.
You will always remember how much of a great time you had and the feeling of accomplishment when you beat the fear factor.
You are just as likely to be out of your comfort zone traveling to another city in your own country.

Start with someplace easy. Which I guess would depend on where you live.
