Ep. 63 - How to Turn Travel Research Into a Travel Plan

If you're like most people I talk to, you could win an award for the research, and the gorgeous spreadsheet you've created to organize all of it, as the basis of your plan to travel for a while.

Research, on its own, doesn't create the confidence in your plan that lets you actually start the travel. This week, I explore why that happens, and how to get out of that eternal research rabbit hole, and into a plan you can be confident in.
