Should I go visit my friends in America?
I live in Paris, France, and I love to visit America whenever I can. For the past year, I’ve been in touch with a guy my age (I’m 18) who lives in Florida. I met his friends thru video chatting and we’ve had long, extensive conversations about any topic you could think of. He’s a college student in UF and lives in an apartment with 3 other guys (one of whom I’ve met).

Two months ago we were talking about one of us traveling to meet the other in person. He doesn’t have a passport so we decided I went over there. I was questioning the whole thing, but after talking to my parents and having them approve, and the low flight costs and plus him agreeing to fully tender my needs and accommodation arrangements, I decided to book a flight.

Since that flight was booked, I’ve had ongoing thoughts and fears from going to a foreign country, to people whose lower limbs I haven’t even seen ^^. I’ve been to A a couple of times, but it was with family, never alone. It’s my first time traveling alone like this and I’m very scared of multiple possible occurrences. Moreover, I’m due to stay over for 1 month. The closer I get to that date my reservations are growing and my confidence ebbs.

I’ve been able to think of so many reasons why I DO want to go, but so many reasons why I shouldn’t. Canceling the flight would cost me 150$, but would allow me to avoid possible fun, and possible disgrace.

About staying with them, I’m very VERY "don’t enter my personal space" and I constantly need my corner to be alone in. I NEVER feel comfortable at other people’s houses or even at hotels I feel really awkward. It’s rather funny, writing this it seems appropriate that this should be my letter of concession to him ^^.

However, I’ve been dreaming about how good it could be. I’ve longed for visiting america, and plus on my own, that could really be a blast. I cannot think of why I would otherwise have reservations from doing this. I remember being completely flabbergasted by the abundance of prosperity in America when I first went there, I would really love to revisit those experiences with greater joy.

How do you feel about this? Would you go? (and I’m referring to the random person reading this, I just need a rational, non-biased opinion)

Thank you very much!

I too would hate the idea of giving up an opportunity to travel, BUT I would not go alone.
Is there anyway someone could go with you? A girl friend? A sibling? Do you have any friends or relatives in another city or state nearby, just in case?

And I would make my own arrangements for a place to stay like a hotel or a youth hostel rather than staying in an apartment with all males, whether you have met any of them in person or not. It could be awkward at best, and at worst something could happen which you might regret. One month is a long time to be dependent on people you have never met in person, not to mention there is the danger that they may not be who they say they are, they may have ulterior motives for having invited you. At least in a hotel, while you may have trouble getting comfortable, you would at least be guaranteed some quiet and privacy when you need/want it. There are hotels that give discounts for extended stays.

At the very least, do some research, get some information on the area you will be staying in. Locate a police station or something and know how to contact them.
