I've never been to Europe before, but I feel like I'm going to get lost because I don't know what I'm doing and I can only read English! Everyone is staying at different hotels too, and I have no idea where/what I'm going to eat! I'll probably end up starving to death along the way.

I have to book travel all by myself, and it's freaking me out because I don't know wtf I'm doing. All I know is I can't spend more than $1200 on flights. Who knows about hotels! Then I have to figure out the currency crap too. Prauge has weird Czech Crowns that are totally useless outside of Prauge.

My co-workers are all renting their own cars or choosing their public transportation. Well, idk where the hell I'm going! I can't do public transportation because I'm going to get lost! And if I get a car, I have to figure out which side of the road they drive on before I accidentally kill myself! It's totally going to induce mania!
Stuff me in your suitcase, I'll go with you! LOL!!! Seriously, I love Europe, but I totally understand the whole 'traveling alone' thing...especially going that far. That being said, at least you know there will be people waiting when you get there and you won't be the last one to arrive. If I was still working in the airline industry I would help you out as much as I could. It can definitely be a daunting task. Have you thought about going through a travel agent? Just something to think about.
