Dear Shayna,

I miss traveling so much. I can’t wait till coronavirus is over! Sometimes I dream of traveling again. When I think about all the places I’d like to go and things I’d like to see and do, I feel excited and happy. Then I remember the plane ride we took to visit my uncle in Arizona and I feel sick. I do not like airplanes at all because I’m afraid of heights. How will I get to travel the world in the future?

Sincerely,

Acrophobic Aaron

Dear Acrophobic Aaron,

I know how important it is to look forward to things during this pandemic. Help is on the way and we can figure out how you can travel again eventually.

There are many other ways to see the world that don’t involve planes. For instance, you could go on a boat and sometimes even a car or you could take a bus or train. There are so many different choices of ways to get around that don’t involve planes. So don’t sweat the small stuff when choosing transportation, only sweat the big stuff like what you’re gonna wear on your trip!

Best of luck,

Shayna B.
