I am a retired 70 something female, happily married to a wonderful man who does not like to travel. Retirement should be about living your dreams, and my goal is to travel as far and as often as I can.
I love to travel, but it has taken me many years to start my adventures. I was always an armchair traveller. There is nothing wrong with that, but I yearned to see all the places that I had read about. The problem? I was terrified of flying.
I looked into any solution that would help. (other than major drugs!) I saw a video on how planes fly. Very dry stuff, but fascinating. Then, I went to 3 hypnosis sessions. While I wasn’t totally unafraid of flying, the little bit of fear I had was certainly manageable.
My travels haven’t always been smooth, but it has taught me a lot about myself and what to do or not do the next time. It certainly has never been boring. I have met interesting people and pushed myself out of my comfort zone.
The travel bug is an itch you can’t quite scratch, and I have itchy travel feet. I hope that I inspire you to push through your comfort zones and join me on my adventures.
