Hey Frozt, we meet again ;D
Well, not only am I a con-goer, but also a volunteer at a con myself (now as of late an official staff member, which is neat
).
It might indeed be difficult, especially if you don't have that much travel experience, let alone con-experience. I haven't gone to EF myself yet, even though I want to very badly, but I still plan to. Just waiting for when they would plan it around a time when Byracka is available too. I have been planning for a few years to go there now, and I spoke to several people/acquaintances/friends over that time too, and I think I've got a good and rough idea who I would go with.
If you're really unsure whether now would be a good time to go or not, then maybe you should wait a bit longer, see if you can find some friends who are willing to go there as well, but don't depend too much on them either, they could always decide not to go as soon as it's time to order tickets or something.
Aaaah, I'm bad at this ^^;
What I'm trying to say is, don't let the worried-ness get to you so much. However, it can potentially influence your time staying at Eurofurence. And it is a long time, especially for someone who hasn't travelled that much before (especially also in-country).
I don't want to make you sad/upset about the situation, for I am sure you can also make very nice friends at the convention. I think that is why you should go anyways.
See, it's kind of a two-reasoning way. And that's why it's hard for anyone to tell you whether you should go or not, because you're not sure either, even though you would really want to go.
I get it with the travelling though. In my case, I had t spend a few years just figuring out how I could travel (and not lose the way ^^; ) when travelling by myself with PT (Public Transport). Now that I have learned where to look for information, who to ask, I can apply that to anywhere. It was sure a lot easier to take a plane-trip once I had learned to apply that information ^^
But I wouldn't let that stop you. There should always be someone around to ask, look for information desks or such if you're really unsure. And at an airport (or train station) there are always electronic signs to indicate where you should go.
if you need anymore help on this, just ask
Anyways, regardless what you decide, I do hope you'll go, and not only that, but that you'll enjoy it at EF ^^
