lagilmanBut in a good way. In a "sure you should do it, yes you CAN do it, and if you don't at least try it will make you crazy" kind of hand-holding and cheerleading way. :-)
This is a friend's Kickstarter, to research, live, and document the facing-down of her travel anxiety, and report back to others that yes, it CAN be done. That you can face your anxiety, outsmart it, and live to tell the tale (and have a good time while you're at it). I think this is going to be one hell of a project...
Disclaimer: I am her Wrangler and Occasional Videographer for this gig, but the project is hers alone.
note: the funds she's raising will cover the costs of researching and carrying out this project, and falls well within Kickstarter's guidelines. I specify this because she's already had someone attacking her for "trying to fund a vacation." Which pisses me off, because it a) assumes bad faith where she was up front about where the money would go, and b) ignores the fact that this HAS passed KS's guidelines, where they reject things that they feel are not valid projects. You don't think it's a worthy project then hey don't support it. That's cool. But attacking her for trying to do something brave is pretty crappy behavior...
