We are going to Rome
After a couple of failed attempts for a short trip, my partner asked to do something bigger for upcoming holidays. As you can guess, I agreed, but it was not easy. My anxiety was triggered and I had to fight it really hard.
I am not a traveler person; I didn't travel with my parents and my friends don't travel much either, and we never did it together. This will be my second time visiting another country and my first taking a plane, and it looks so difficult and scary. It is not only that I have no idea what I am doing, It's also that the other times I have traveled, even when it was within my country, it was not pleasant. Most of the times it was work trips, where stress was high and there wasn't many room for nice things, mainly overwork with some instance of pizza in the office.
With that in mind, when I was asked I had to reach for any bit of faith I could find and reinforce it. Before I could finally say yes, I had to build confidence in myself, in my capacity to do it, and trust in my partner who would be leading and taking care of most things in this adventure.
I'm going to be so out of my comfort zone. I have so many doubts and fears, but I want this to be good.
Is it now when I say 'arrivederci'?
