Did you ever have a fear that felt so irrational but you just couldn't shake? Once I started chatting with more travelers about my fear of international trains and busses, I realized I wasn't alone. Navigating public transportation abroad can be intimidating  and that's why so many of us avoid it.

After spending my first year of travel walking everywhere or using a ride share app, I realized how unrealistic it would be to continue to do that as a full-time digital nomad. In today's episode, I'm sharing how I overcame my fears of public transportation so that I confidently make my way around any city!

This episode is part of our Fearless Traveler Series, where we discuss ways to be a more confident traveler and normalize some of the fears around traveling.
