Remember don’t travel in fear!

There’s a lot of things that can go wrong when
you’re on the road. But I’ve found in general that
most people are good and kind hearted. I’ve
always been surprised by the way strangers will
come to assist you in times of need. It’s all about
the energy you put out there. Smile at people
and generate a warm spirit. Enjoy yourself, have
adventures, push yourself out of your comfort
zone but do it with a clear mind, some basic
common sense and an awareness of your
environment.

Travel is all I can think about.’
