The FAQ is What is hodophobia? How can one cope with this fear of travel?

Answer: Hodophobia is the fear of travel. This is real for many people. Not just women, but mostly. It is more than just anxiety, and can cause shaking, crying, nausea, headaches, and sweating.

Here are four Tips for Coping with a Fear of Traveling

  1. Consult with a professional in mental health if you have a phobia of any kind. Some have found that there are other ways if mild symptoms occur.
  2. Set you own researched expectations: Use what you learn on the Internet for information. The more you research, your stress will be reduced and hodophobia left behind.
  3. Visualize: Imagine yourself negotiating city traffic and even detailed experiences such as pulling into the perfect parking spot. Visualize your own success while you build confidence and reduces personal stress.
  4. Plan your destination: If you are driving to your destination, sit down with a map and plan how far you will travel each day. Make hotel reservations and note the locations of nearby restaurants. If you are traveling by public carrier, such as a ship or a plane, confirm your bookings a few days before you leave. Allow plenty of time to arrive early and make a backup plan in case of delays.
  5. Breathe: Your body’s reaction to your mind can improve your outlook. So be sure to breathe deeply and that will help remind you of your current body and rhythms.

Today’s Episode Destination is Temecula, CA

Wineries- it’s in the heart of the Southern California Wine Country.

You will see lots of wine drinkers, some in limos.

This is a safe way to travel if you are going on an all-day wine tasting trip.

The most well-known wineries for me are Ponte, Leoness, and Thornton. And then Calloway, just because. At last count there were 40 different wineries.

Today’s Mistake- Choosing snorkeling over scuba 

I should have gone scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Australia.

Regrets are history, so I don’t focus on them, but here’s a lesson. If you are certified as a scuba diver, then take advantage of that. My friend was not certified, so we both went snorkeling on that trip. However, I have since wished that I had tried the scuba instead. Once you’re certified, you are for life. I had the opportunity, but I did not take it. So, my mistake to share is to do what you can if the timing works.

Today’s Travel Advice- Define your life in independent travel

One of the defining trips in my life was going to Africa for a month, because I was so totally away from any comfort zone and did not speak to anyone who knew me or my background during the trip. There were few Americans that I met. Being so isolated was a lesson in surviving. I was able to build confidence and trust in myself during this time. You may not need to go so far, but you can do something that can help you build your confidence and you will be able to feel positive about you, even a small thing. That’s why I want you to explore, so you find out about what’s inside you in the experience.

RIP Dean Alphonso Buell

Celebrating the life of Dean Alphonso Buell in April, 2012 with his mom and two friends. Dr. Travelbest is priviledged to know Raquel Giraldez, mother of the deceased, as she was the designer and illustrator and most travelled friend of Dr. Travelbest in 1993 as the book was being written and published. Dean was involved with the editorial, even though he was a youngster at the time. Thanks, Dean, for sharing your mom so that Dr. Travelbest could teach others about Independent Travel. Speaking of travel, this is the view from the front yard of Raquel's home in Buellton, CA. The mountains in the distant background are picture postcard on this memorable day, right near the 101. (Photos: top: view from Raquels, bottom: center, Raquel and right, Rosanna Figuerola (sp?) at the Celebration of Dean's 24 years on the earth.) There were so many stars that night, we knew that Dean was watching us from above with his new friends.

I want to travel independently, does that makes sense? Written by: Lizandra Jimenez Rodriguez When traveling becomes a great passion, you usually keep a bucket list framed at your desk or in the lock screen of your phone. You never stop planning or deciding when, where, and how to get to the next place. There are tons of ways to travel, however, independent travel has been always a popular one for those seeking adventure, exploring on their own, or simply trying to get away from the traditional and superficial (for some) tourist routine. A myth we need to forget is that independent travel is not all about backpacking in Europe or climbing the Everest; in fact, it can be done in many ways including different levels of budget and luxury. Also, independent travel can be done solo or with an affinity group with a particularly crafted itinerary. This makes it very different from escorted traveling of course. Companies have understood how escorted traveling is not for everyone and to
