How to Tackle the Most Common Travel Fears - Conde Nast Traveler

Things get comfortable at home—which is why travel is a great time to work on your fears.


Taking a vacation and conquering a fear might not seem like they go hand in hand but consider that getting from your home to your destination can come with its own set of fears. Many of the most common phobias, from flying to heights, come out when people travel. That said, being on the road can be a good way to learn to cope. At home, it’s easy to get into comfortable routines, but while traveling, you’re more likely to be confronted with new scenarios that might be frightening—and also in a mindset to take on a new challenge.

There are even travel operators who can help with these fears—for a fee, of course. Jimmy Carroll spends most of his time planning over-the-top trips for his clients as the co-founder of Pelorus, a high-end experimental travel company. But from time to time, he also helps them overcome their greatest fears.
