Will I survive studying abroad/even enjoy myself?
My identical twin and I are from the U.S. and the first time we went out of the country was just us two traveling to Oaxaca, Mexico. This was this past winter break (so a couple months ago) and I have the option of studying abroad this fall for a semester in Prague in the Czech Republic. In Mexico, we are both proficient enough in Spanish to have gotten by and to understand and ask anything we needed to.
However, I was really stressed out and so was she. I remember just wanting to go home the whole time. It got so bad and we both were crying and really wanted to go home early. The only thing keeping us there was how much money we had paid to do this trip. Don’t get me wrong, Oaxaca is by far the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen and the people were just spectacular. Towards the end I was feeling okay enough to go on some of the itinerary we had planned while my twin couldn’t stomach leaving our hostel. She did force herself to though and I had some fun but couldn’t stop thinking about home. I love nature and bookstores and gardens and that’s what I would try to explore while in Europe, but I just really don’t want that feeling to come back. If it did, the only way I could handle it I think is being positive it was worth it.
Please help!! Any suggestions??
