And most of all, learn to enjoy it, otherwise you'll never get anywhere.
I second that sometimes you wonder why some people bother as they seem more motivated by achieving goals than actually enjoying an experience.
It is normal to have a certain amount of apprehension especially when taking on something you are not used to.
When i started flying many moons ago I can remember being very happy on my own in the local area but always taking a particular friend who I considered better and more experienced than me on longers flights.
We had a trip planned to france with a couple of passengers.
I was super confident with my friend on the trip.
I arrived at the airport and prepared the flight chatting to the passengers awaiting my friend.
He called stating that he had lightly crashed the car and could not come but told me to take them myself as I was well up to it.
My confidence collapsed and I nearly called the trip off. Then I decided to go. It was the best thing I had done
So yes do the trip with someone but then do it yourself and above all enjoy yourself.
