I remember being so scared of Salt Lake City. The first time I visited, I was faced with a lot of unfamiliar situations. I saw a lot of punk rockers with neon hair and mohawks. There were Mormons everywhere (I had never met Mormons before, and being raised in the Bible Belt had grown up hearing a lot of incorrect information on their faith and practices. I'm very happy to say that through the years probably 90 percent of the kindest people I've ever met were Mormon.) It was the largest city I had ever been to alone. I remember at one point pulling over and crying because I was lost and so very scared. . . . Today, however, I flew into Salt Lake City with the most gratitude that I may have ever felt. Not only am I confident in my ability to now 'handle' this city, but I come to it with a sense of comfort. As is the case with anywhere in my country. Almost every time I leave The States, I am immediately humbled. I am thankful and proud to have been born an American. . . . On another note, I come to you with one request. Today I challenge you to face one of your fears. I have had people come to me saying that they wished they could travel, but they were too scared. Well, tell me this. What if you did it anyway? What would happen is this. You will not only conquer a fear, but you will accomplish a goal. What is the very worst that could happen? You could die. But then they could say that you died doing what you loved. *hint: you won't die.* And I promise you, when you come home, the rest of your world will be the same. But to you it will look oh so different. . . . . . #instatravel #travellife #travelstoke #travelgram #travelnow #wanderlust #adventureseeker #doyoutravel #travelmore #goexplore #wonderfulplaces #openmyworld #lovetotravel #adventurethatislife #roamtheplanet #nomadiclife #locationindependent #seekmoments #momentsofmine #postcardsfromtheworld #getoutstayout #optoutside #travelgirl #solotravel #clouds #inspiration #travelinspiration
