Thinking of traveling to Asia. My multiple perspective is making me think twice.

My husband and I are currently planning a month trip to Asia. We will be visiting Japan, South Korea, China, and Taiwan. This will be my first time traveling internationally and I'm really freaking out over anything. I turned 40 in June 2017 and have been thinking about what I would like to do in my first year as a 40 year old. I've always wanted to travel but have been afraid to travel internationally alone as a woman. Recently, I started listening to a podcast called She Explores and although I'm not identifying as a feminist, these women make me feel like I can do it. I've also been doing a lot of research and joined a few Facebook groups designed for women who want to explore. <br><br>My husband will be coming with me and I'm fine if he doesn't do everything I want to do, he's not my personal entertainment. For the most part, he's pretty easy going and willing to try new things. Being adopted and mixed raced, I'm not sure how we will be received in some of these countries. But I'm hoping that my being a woman won't have an impact. This is a big step for me and I'm feeling so overwhelmed. <br><br>I just need to calm down and plan. Anyone have any advice? I've traveled to a few places in the US. But we have never left the country. I'm feeling like I don't know what the heck I'm doing.
