The more you do it, the more confident you become, I'm sure. <br /><br />While I think I would love to stand in front of people and share stories and experiences, I know I would be extremely nervous and go back and forth between wanting to plan and prepare well (to then not be able to remember it all) and winging it, counting on my spontaneity. On the other hand, I do like talking about our travels and showing photos in front of a crowd. :-) <br />Liesbet @ <a href="%E2%80%9Dwww.roamingabout.com%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Roaming About – A Life Less Ordinary</a> Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-86331344629907151012017-05-08T16:28:00.425-06:002017-05-08T16:28:00.425-06:00Well done!!
