A year abroad

I want to / plan to go abroad for a year, because I would like to improve my English skills ( verwende nicht zu oft die selben Wörter, vor allem nicht hintereinander )

I often think about going abroad but i don`t know if I have the courage to do so ( als Beispiel ). I`m independent but I don`t have much/any self-confidence. If I don`t know the people ( around me ) I can barely (kaum) talk thus (vermeide so so weit wie möglich) I`m not good in making friends. However, if I go abroad for a year, I would go to Australia, specifically to Sidney; it is the oldest and biggest city ( the und there weglassen ). I don`t know much about Australia but I like Sydney somehow ( passt besser ). I have a cousin who used to live in Australia for 14 years, now he is living in Bosnia since 3 years and he speaks English very well! The important thing ( vermeide thing, benutze aspect/fact/point ) for me and why I don`t trust myself is the host family. I don`t know how they are! If I`m a year abroad, I hope to have a nice/good host family. If they have kids, it will be even better, because I can talk with the kids and I love kids so we can become friends immediately. The food wouldn`t be a problem, I eat everything except meat. Hence ( vermeide so ) I hope I can trust myself enough and spend a year in Australia.

Ich habe es sehr schnell überflogen, es ist nicht schlecht. Du leitest aber einies zu sehr vom Deutschen her, wie mit thing/so. Versuche connectives zu verwenden ( furthermore, besides, nevertheless, thus usw ). Es macht alles viel schöner und es liest sich einfach besser.
