Howdy, everybody, welcome to the Granger Smith podcast.

What's up? Thanks for listening.

Would traveling to another country right now be a smart thing to do?

If I just pack my bags and headed off to the airport and went to a

completely different country during the craziness of this world right now in the state we're in, would that be smart?

And if I did, what I see, why would I feel safe?

Well I'm here to tell you, I just did it.

I actually just got back.

And it, I learned a lot from this trip and probably most importantly was when I was deciding to go in this crazy time and leave my family and go to another country and I was having some serious commitment remorse like

Maybe I shouldn't like no I'm I'm scared maybe I should be scared everyone's telling me I should be scared I should try to be super safe right now.

And then I decided against it and I decided to go with my gut and go with the original commitment

and I was really happy. I was really, really happy that I did. I felt like I'm better for it.

I felt like nothing bad happened from it. I want to tell you all about that, where I went, how I did it, what it was like on this

podcast. I want to read a few shoutouts here before we get started because shoutouts on this

podcast are really important to me.

So I want to give a shout out to Jesse Netikovin, that is N-E-T-T-T-E-K-O-V-E-N.
