An irresistible compulsion to travel and a nervous affliction: put these together and you get the collywobbles, that jittery feeling one gets from anxiety. This episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Vacation Station” Travel Show features author and world traveler Faye Brenner who chats about some of her travel experiences and her book “Collywobbles: Tales of Travel, Life, and Anxiety.” 

Part memoir and part travelogue, “Collywobbles” takes readers on amusing journeys from climbing up to the gargoyles atop Notre Dame to crawling through the Cu Chi tunnels in Vietnam, all the while wrought with multiple anxieties – from the fear of heights to the fear of getting lost. As she seeks ways to overcome her angst, Faye continues to pursue worldly pleasures in the arts, food, phalluses, and, oddly enough, toilets. More at https://www.fayebrenner.com/
