I think they go hand in hand when it comes to travelling! I’ve certainly experienced my share of fears about travelling and I know I’m not alone.<br /><br />My first guest today is Leyla Giray Alyanak of Women on the Road, and although she’s one of the people I think of as a guru in the solo travel for women area, she confesses that she has a bunch of fears related to travel, and I think that’s important for all of us to realise - we can be scared, but we can still travel.<br /><br />\rFollowing Leyla, I share a great chat with Bethaney Davies of Flashpacker Family, who tells me all about the first time she travelled on her own. Let’s just say it started with a week of tears in her hotel room but got far better than that.\r\n \r\n\r\nLinks: \r\n\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Leyla at Women on the Road <a href=\"http://www.women-on-the-road.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.women-on-the-road.com</a></li>\r\n<li>Episode 2 feature Leyla’s stories about getting lost <a href=\"http://www.notaballerina.com/2016/03/thoughtful-travel-podcast-episode-2-terror-getting-lost.html\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.notaballerina.com/2016/03/thoughtful-travel-podcast-episode-2-terror-getting-lost.html</a></li>\r\n<li>Bethaney at Flashpacker Family <a href=\"http://flashpackerfamily.com\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http://flashpackerfamily.com</a></li>\r\n<li>Show notes at https://notaballerina.com/05</li>\r\n</ul>","author_name":"Amanda Kendle"}
