Do you dream about taking a backpacking trip around the world, but feel nervous and uncertain about where it’s safe to travel and where it isn’t? Do you feel scared about traveling and having something bad happen?
On this episode of the podcast, we talk about how what we hear about a place can make us scared to go there, and how living in fear can prevent us from taking trips. We touch on how to overcome your fears of traveling and how to ensure that you stay safe while traveling. We also share how we make decisions about where to go and decide what is truly unsafe and what is simply deemed unsafe in mainstream media.
Enjoy!
