Travel Safety

I’m linking this post to Outdoor Wednesday at A Southern Day Dreamer. Outdoor_Wednesday_logo_thumb[2]

It has been too long since I have posted so I apologize for letting life slow me down.  Blog updates don’t really take me too long, and I could do them from my phone if I knew how (on the to-do list!).  Between getting side-tracked and being indecisive about what to post, I just don’t do it.

Today, I want to share a quick blurb about a travel safety seminar I went to this weekend.  It was put on by IHS Training.

This particular seminar was intended for mission trips but most of the information was completely applicable to every-day travelers.  The idea is to develop a sense of world travel knowledge without having to endure the hardships first-hand.  Some of the concepts were kind of scary but we were encouraged to not become paranoid, just aware.

The gentleman that taught the class, Brian Webb, did a fantastic job presenting the information.  There was a lot of information but I didn’t come away with information-overload.  I will be a better traveler because of this class.

I don’t have a lot of photos,DSCF0033 sorry.  If you travel, consider taking a seminar of this nature.  A little bit of knowledge can go a long way in making your trip easy and fun.  Being unaware of the every-day drama going on around us can turn tragic in short order.

Is he local? My MOPS group are looking for speakers and I'm thinking that safety when travelling with young children are very important. It is on my mind all the time right now since I will soon be travelling alone with my two kids to Norway. Let me know so I can pass his information on to my co coordinator for my MOPS group.

Hi, I guess my last comment on this disapeared.
I was wondering if you could send me some information on this Brian Webb if he is local. I tried to Google his name and all I got was an artist. I would like to see if he might be a good speaker for my MOPS group next year.
Thanks.
