Go for it, White
Does it matter that you might be on your own? I'm sure you could easily make friends, and think of the wonderfull experiences you'd get, and the fab memories that you'd be able to share with us.
You hafta sieze the moment hun - life is wayyyy to short to look back in a few years and wonder what might have been.
So, in my humble opinion, i think you should go for it!!!!!
