Clara Chorley had always wanted to travel to Africa, but due to fear mongering and stories of it being dangerous, it kept pushing her back. However, her deep desire to visit slowly crept up on her, until one day, and after 14 years of procrastination, she couldn’t ignore it anymore and decided to take the leap. Since then, Clara has traveled the world and there’s one thing that she’s consistently noticed throughout every situation: People are inherently good. Don’t let stories of woe and dread hold you back from solo travel and being transformed!
Key Takeaways:
*What got Clara started on this path of solo travel?
*The United States is so huge and Clara has noticed that a lot of Americans don’t leave the country.
*In Europe, it’s just easier to go to a neighboring country and be immersed in a completely different culture.
*Clara has seen that there’s a lot of fear-mongering when it comes to traveling to ‘dangerous’ places.
*How does Clara know when a place is going to be okay?
*It’s very important that you go and get current and recent information about a country. Some places used to be dangerous, but have recovered from their turmoil.
*Why did Clara visit Africa? It took her 14 years to take the plunge to go.
*After reading the book We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families, Clara was READY. She didn’t want to wait anymore. She Had To Go!
*Through Clara’s work, she speaks with so many people who are in the late 50s who have ‘put it off’ and are miserable for doing so.
*You don’t need to make the full jump, you just need to be a little awakened so you can see what you’re missing and push yourself closer and closer to your dreams.
*Where has Clara traveled to that has really made an impact on her life?
*When you’re dealing with risk, you do need to test yourself so you know what your boundaries are.
*We’re designed to feel alive, that’s why we crave it! It’s our birthright.
*Remember, people are inherently good.
*What kind of work does Clara do and how does she help others?
