Hello /trv/, I am a /v/irgin with all its stereotypes, such as self-proclaimed assburgers and being afraid to socialize. My current intention is to surpass myself, traveling to another country in a traineeship. 2 years ago, I gathered guts to go on a trip to Japan during 28 days, as a tourist. It was a success, but I didn't make friends.

As a challenge to myself, I proposed to me a traineeship in foreign lands. But there's a problem. I am afraid I might panic during my time working there. And that is a horrible feeling. Missing family and friends, not having mom to do stuff, having tensions, etc...

Any tips and tricks for a guy like myself to start being alone in a foreign country dealing with all sorts of problems?

just do it. it probably won't go well for the first few months and you will panic but that's normal and still better than staying with your parents.

Well, don't go to Japan, for one. They're xenophobic mofo's. Go to Italy or someplace, you'll have tons of friends.

Do it, indeed.

Yes, you might crack down once or twice, but eventually you'll come through and learn a lot about yourself. And if you don't come through...well...you'll still learn a lot about yourself.

Europe.

Pretty much everyone in my family (mostly on my father's side) go to europe for a few months to a year when they're in the 18 to 20 year range. It's become tradition. Staying in youth hostels, taking odd jobs, generally trying to see as many countries as possible while we're there. I kind of cheated and used a youth exchange program available here in quebec, essentially a me and a bunch of university students from around the world (canada, france, belgium, mexico, japan, korea, england) spent a few months rebuilding an old church in a tiny village in rural france. After that, I spent a month exploring europe by myself before going home. I stayed in youth hostels to save money. I highly recommend it.

I lol'd, some italians are as xenophobic mofo's as the japanese, particularly if you don't look like an european...
however, I'm living in Italy for nearly 5 years now and I've made a lot of great friends, it's really a nice place...

Hostels are a great place to make some quick friends if you're traveling alone. Most people are also in small groups and enjoy picking up another person to party with/hang out with who knows the way home

And I've been in Japan for 2 and I can say the same, I have a lot of friends, I get invited into people's homes, to parties, weddings, etc all the time.

Assumptions are like macaroni from a box: just because it's easy to make doesn't mean it's good.

All the Leghisti should go and drown themselves in their beloved Po.

That said, if you're white and/or stay out of Veneto and Lombardia, you should be fine. Italy's a nice place to visit, and some of us are actually quite friendly. Though I wouldn't suggest living here permanently, especially after the results of this election.
