About This Quote
Fear is the spice that makes the journey worthwhile. If you didn't have fear, then why would you want to travel? You may think that the more experience you have, the less afraid you are, but experience can actually make fear more dangerous. There are so many things that can go wrong during a trip, so many places where things could go wrong. The better prepared you are for those potential problems, the less afraid you will be.
