Do you suffer from anxiety? How have the unknowns of the road hindered your travel plans? What role does stress play in your travel planning?

We are diving into mental health and how it affects your life choices and future plans with Gilad Gamliel from The Overthinker's Passport. He is very open in sharing his struggles with mental health issues as we talk about how he's learned to control them, the role travel plays in his journey, the balance between planning vs. spontaneity, and more.

Has your mental health ever prevented you from traveling? How has travel helped you overcome your anxiety? I'd love to hear about it, and I hope you will share by sending me an audio message.
