I felt the same way! I booked my months in advance, and it was difficult to click the buy button. I paused for a few minutes and asked my OH if we should really do this. He looked my in the eye with confidence, and I thought it should be fine.
The anxious feeling lasted for a while, but eventually it disappeared and was replaced with excitement. We won't have any family there, but even with a job offer, nothing is certain.
This is how I look at it: you only live once, why not try something adventurous that most people only dream of doing. If worst was to come to worse, you come back and have great stories to tell and have beautiful memories! It's a trip/dream of a lifetime!
I am sure everything will turn out fine for both of you, but there will always be feelings of fear when you embark on an adventure where you don't know the outcome. When feelings of fear come over me (they still happen for me every now and then), I just focus on the move and what needs to get done b4 we go and avoid focusing on the destination.
Hope that eases your mind a bit.
