Hi,


As part of my final year as a med student, we take an elective(period abroad to see medicine elsewhere). It's about 2 months, and you can take part of that time to travel and have a holiday.


I am thinking of going to Cambodia, which would be amazing, really exciting and hands on from a medical perspective. I would be going on my own though, which is scaring me. It isn'ttil nextyear, but I need to decide where I am going pretty soon. I would really love to go there but I'm scared about being on my own, what to do if I should vomit, who I could turn to if I had any anxiety. Generally I manage my anxieties really well and am OK with travelling on the 'plane etc- although never flown on my own, which scares me a bit. It won't be that easy to just call up family or boyfriend up if I did have any anxieties. Also the country itself, hygiene wise, it would be inevitable to have some kind of dietary indiscretion at some point. Argh.


It's so stupid because the fear of e.g. getting attacked is so far in the back of my mind compared to this stupid fear. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
