Terrified of study abroad

I love to travel. But a few weeks before any trip I enter the stage I call “what the hell was I thinking?” - I push through it & the trip (usually) goes well & I immediately start thinking about planning the next one. Study abroad is an amazing opportunity and you may not ever get a chance to live in another country again. Only you know if this anxiety is beyond normal fear of the unknown, but I would try to push past it and go. At worst it’s not the greatest three months of your life and then you come home. At best you have amazing new experiences that last the rest of your life.
