Dan and Becky Teach Travel

My friends Dan and Becky are, as Dan explains in a well-worded blog post, starting a venture called LearnToTravel designed to teach you how to become an independent traveler.

While I’m not entirely convinced that the best way to learn to become an independent traveler isn’t just throwing caution to the wind and going traveling, I also know that some people are just never going to do this: the great chasm of the unknown looms too great.

When Dan and Becky are trying to do, I think, is to plane off enough of the rough edges of your first trip to the point where you emerge confident enough to travel independently thereafter.
