Staying Calm

I'm a long time lurker and i listen to a lot of content on spot file while working. It has really helped me improve my view on certain aspects of life. I am planning to go to japan for a year in september on a working holiday. And i hope this will help me, as i will be a lot busier and be able to distract myself more naturally. But i am still worried about that in my down time, i will feel scared and lonely if i am not connected with other people in some kind of way. The question i want to ask is, is this a healthy way coping, mechanism to deal with anxiety? And what are some techniques,
