Doing It Anyway

How do you overcome challenges to getting on the road?

We wanted to know. Because when it comes to road travel, there’s always a reason not to go, even if you want to. It could be chores, money, a job or other obligations-- even things that seem intrinsically good for us, like new opportunities or a relationship or an incredible home. And these things-- good, bad, or otherwise, can make it challenging to say “yes” to the call you feel to get out on the road.

We asked listeners to share their experiences of overcoming challenges and getting out there anyway, and you all came through, big time. So in this episode, you’ll hear stories of persistence, creativity, vulnerability, and strength. And even though everyone’s travels are incredibly unique, there’s a strong commonality in the art of the pursuit.
