Them: “Oh my goodness! You shouldn’t travel there – it’s SO dangerous!”
Me: “Oh really?! Have you been there?”
Them: “Well, no… But I HEARD that somewhere!”
Me: “Hmmmm ok. I’ll let you know how it is when I get back!”
GIRL BYE.
Don’t let someone who has never traveled tell you why you shouldn’t go somewhere.
I’m not denying that there are some parts of the world that are indeed dangerous, but don’t let hearsay keep you from experiencing all this world has to offer. If I would have listened to all the pearl clutchers when I told them I was going to places like Egypt, Jordan or Turkey – then I would have totally missed out on traveling through these incredible places and making memories that will last me a lifetime.
