Hello Forum, I'm calling on your words of wisdom in my personal crisis.
Here is the situation:

- I want to go to Perth. For fun, for an adventure, I'd get to hang out with Gavin Luper, and I just want to do it.
- I'm terrified to do it alone. Honestly. I've never left Sydney by myself, so I'm scared to go right across the country. And nobody will come with me. Not even my boyfriend
- It's $200AU each way.


So, I guess I'm venting frustrations, because I so badly want to go and try and experience and see it for myself (and visit Gavin Luper) , but then other people are either saying "you're crazy for wanting to go across the country alone / wanting to pay all that money etc" ... so I don't know. Maybe if I told them it was just a holiday people would be more understanding. But why should I censor my motives for other people?

So forum, give me your advice on the following:
- whether i should go or not and what i should do about other people saying stuff to me
- travelling tips, especially for traveling alone.
- any suggestions of places to travel to and things to see


Or just talk about places you've been and your own similar situations.
