20 Till Takeoff

Tatum Skipper

Traveling is so much more than just taking beautiful pictures, eating at popular restaurants, and hitting the cities hottest tourist attractions. Why don't we view travel as a way to face fears, build confidence, and push past limiting beliefs? We're not being taught the fundamentals of how and why travel is so important, but I'm here to change that. On "20 Till Takeoff", Tatum sits down with people from all walks of life on how they have been able to use travel as a tool to overcome fear. These are real, raw, and relatable stories you can use to help inspire, educate, and give you that extra push you need to get out of your comfort zone. Let's go on the ultimate journey together as we navigate this life, one adventure at a time.
