This episode’s travel lesson:

Share your Location with your Inner Circle Only!

On this episode, we discuss the importance of sharing your location only with people you trust.
Alexa and I share our location with each other, especially while traveling, through an app called Life 360.
This app allows you to share your location live with people of your choice, as well as allow them to receive any danger reports.

But you can also do it through Google Maps offline, as well as other resources like Air Tags. Just make sure it’s only people you trust who can keep tabs on you!
