Why we wait for the perfect time to travel, what's holding us back, and how to finally feel confident about going. There's a trip you've been thinking about. Maybe it's hiking through the Italian Dolomites, swimming in Croatia's turquoise waters, or exploring a country you've dreamed of visiting for years.
