As someone who has been very fortunate to have travelled to over 100 of the countries of the world, it is surprising to some when people hear I have been to two different psychologists and the Aer Lingus ‘Fear of Flying’ seminar to try and help deal with the often-crippling anxiety that overcomes many.
It seems like a weird paradox to say. I want to see the world. I just don’t want to fly to see it. That was the line I towed. Now, I know that things you want don’t always materialise that way, and you just have to go with it.
