Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone with Nate Menninger

Ep-272v2

Click here to download this episode.

Nate Menninger has spent the past several months relying on the kindness of strangers. From dogs in the wilderness to someone he met once for an hour becoming his travel buddy, it’s all about trust.

Pushing your comfort zone can be tough no matter what that means for you. Maybe buying that plane ticket does it, maybe running with the bulls, or showing up somewhere with nowhere to stay.

The best part though is coming through that challenge and growing, learning more about yourself and the people around you as you go on these crazy adventures.

Nate joins me today to share some of his stories about the people he’s met along the way, and how he’s pushed his comfort zone time and time again.

How have you pushed your comfort zone through travel? Share your story with me @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!
