Trust your instinct

If your gut is telling you that the place or the people aren’t right listen to your instinct. Follow your feeling. If you feel like going to another place, to meet other people or explore a new place, go for it. If you feel unsafe, trust yourself.
The only thing you have to be careful is to not freak out about your own fear. Don´t be scared about people or situations because most of the time they just want to help you. If you are scared a lot, you will lose many opportunities and experiences because you are always trying to find the failure, even there is no problem. In this kind of situations, you will forget to enjoy the moment and in your memories, it will always stay connected with fear and stress.
Train your instinct and listen in which situation you should be careful and in which moments you can just trust in the good.
