After months of talking about it, a sleepless, anxiety ridden night and $1,823.90 I finally have purchased my plane ticket to Bali. I leave on July 6th, stop over in Taiwan and then arrive in Bali on July 7th. I return on August 3rd. That's just shy of a month that I will be spending there.
I have been quite trigger shy about this trip. First off, this plane ticket is the second most expensive thing that I have ever purchased in my life. It was hard to spend that much money on a plane ticket. Secondly, every other time I have traveled out of the country, I have had either a friend, family or solid contact waiting for me on the other side. This time, I am going it alone. Finally, I am a bit intimidated traveling somewhere, where my language is not the main language spoken. This is of course, probably a really important thing for every privileged person to do at some point.
The way I see it, all the fear and anxiety probably means that this will be a pretty amazing trip. Most things that I have wanted badly to do but have felt fear around, tend to be really important and life changing. Here's to hoping this trip turns out that way!
