Dr. Mary Travelbest Independent Travel Fiji

 Fiji Welcome to Dr. Mary Travelbest’s Bucket List Travel. We share the travel tips and guide you, sharing our missteps along the way. FAQ: How do I reduce my stress on my travel? Stress can become distress very easily. Distress is what you want to avoid, right? Firs, take a deep breath and practice your breathing. Once you have your own body in check, you can move on to the rest of the travel changes. Keep your eye on your phone and your wallet. That’s a big thing in a strange city. Don’t be scared.
