Travels And Living It's a big world out there – Let's explore it together!

Majority of people have innate fear of heights. However, some of the fears are developed throughout the life. You are probably familiar with the feeling of a sudden chill running down your spine. Or, a strange bubbling in your tummy caused by some sort of anxiety. This usually happens after looking down from the edge of a cliff, or a skyscraper.
