    Thanks for the comment. I am happy that my ramblings help you. I'm really not a planner and tend to be very chaotic. Hence the step-by-step thing, chaos seems to feed fear and planning has a way of reducing it. Or like I say, end-run-around if the head-on doesn't work.

    I really liked reading this post, made me think about my own stuff a lot. I definitely have a fear of traveling alone, but my desire to see the world eventually overrode my fear and I've taken quite a few solo trips now. I'm currently facing a much bigger fear and I'm still early on in step one. I totally am a planner though, so hopefully I'll make it to the next step soon. I like your step-by-step process!

    I definitely know what you're talking about — travel definitely can incite fear in me, too! Fear about getting lost, getting hurt, getting robbed, getting lonely (on solo trips), etc. But I guess that's part of what makes it so exhilarating! If it was boring and safe, it wouldn't be nearly as interesting.
