This Week’s Positive Challenge:

“Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

I kept thinking, I’ll need to travel with so much stuff, and my child’s moods, tantrums etc etc. But in time I’ve realized those fears were baseless.

I was over the fear of traveling with my little one after my first airplane ride when she was eight months old, but the motivation to travel MORE Fearlessly came from The Fear Crushing Travel Guide. Read on to know how brilliant Farnoosh, the creator of this guide is at Traveling and all else 🙂 I had the amazing chance to interview this jet setting gal…the result is below.
