Being alone in a foreign country is way less scary than being alone where I live
Transcript
Being alone in a foreign country is way less scary than being alone where I live. You go to all these countries by yourself, you must be so brave. Going to a foreign country alone is way less scary than going anywhere in my home city alone. The thought of going to a bar by myself in Harris County, spooky, horrifying. I've done it before, I won't be doing it again. However, going to a country impulsively by myself, hell yeah, I'm there.
