Endless Summer Tiny World

I am about five days out from leaving!!! I just got back to Appleton to September’s house (where all my stuff is) so that I can repack and pack for my trip! It is kinda crazy and overwhelming how much stuff I need to do, but also if some of it doesn’t get done it’s not the end of the world!

I am super super excited! I can’t wait to go, but at the same time I am getting “cold feet”. I’m mostly just a little freaked out  about traveling by myself. Not for the fact that I have no one with me, just that I have never done it before and so that is the unknown and for right now it is out of my comfort zone! But I will cure that quickly come Saturday when I land in South Africa!  But for now I need no worries, only encouragement! And I don’t doubt I’ll have a great time, everyone who travels by themselves says they think it is great, so I think I will too. My worry is if I still have the ability to make new friends out of strangers. It is funny but it feels like it has been so long since I have done that, that maybe I don’t have that ability anymore, though I guess I just went through making all kinds of new friends on ship! And what if no one likes me! haha! I know this seems ridiculous, but these are things going through my head as I pack and before I leave!

Anyways, I made a reservation for my first three nights in South Africa and my shuttle to the hostel. My first night will be spent at the Backpack and Africa travel centre. It is supposed a very highly rated hostel and I look forward to it. You ask what will be the first thing I do and the answer is I have no idea. I get in so late the first night that it will just depend on how much I wanna sleep the next day!
