Fear

Before I ever took my first trip, I never really did anything alone. Not because I didn't want to, but because wanting to do things alone never really crossed my mind.

It was around the time I got into travel photography when I got asked to go to Norway. Without a doubt, I said yes.

Fast forward days before the trip only to find out that it turned into a solo trip. And no, it was not by choice.

Not only have I never done a solo trip before, but it was also abroad. Scared out of my mind, the trip was getting closer and closer and I had nothing planned besides my flight. I couldn't focus at work, had no itinerary planned, didn't know anyone in Norway, was anxious, and scared sh*tless out of my mind.
