Travel News & Books: Claire and Laura Jopson, 36, from Milton Keynes, had struggled with poor mental health since their schooldays. Along with becoming mothers, travel has helped make their world ‘bigger and bigger’.

The Daily Mail UK article, “We were so anxious walking to the end of the street was a challenge – now we’re full-time travel bloggers!” by Naveen Gharyal, sheds light on the transformative journey of identical twins Claire and Laura Jopson. The twins, originally from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, struggled with severe anxiety since their schooldays. However, their story takes a remarkable turn as they transition from anxiety-ridden individuals to thriving full-time travel bloggers with a substantial following.

The narrative emphasizes that the turning point for Claire and Laura occurred in 2014 when they ventured into the world of travel blogging by starting an Instagram account. Fast forward to the present, and their account has amassed an impressive 58,000 followers. The article suggests that for these sisters, travel became the unexpected therapy that helped alleviate their crippling mental health struggles.

What makes their journey even more compelling is that, in addition to their travel endeavors, both Claire and Laura became mothers in 2021. The article suggests that the combination of motherhood and globetrotting has significantly expanded their world, providing them with newfound perspectives and opportunities.

Despite their newfound lifestyle, the twins candidly admit that they still grapple with anxiety related to travel. The fear of panicking in crowded places like Times Square or experiencing panic attacks on planes remains a constant concern. However, this hasn’t deterred them from pursuing their passion for globetrotting.

One noteworthy aspect highlighted in the article is that Claire and Laura now organize tours specifically designed for women who may feel uncomfortable traveling alone. This demonstrates not only their commitment to sharing their transformative experience but also their desire to create a supportive community for other women who may be facing similar challenges.

In summary, Naveen Gharyal’s article captures the inspiring journey of Claire and Laura Jopson, underscoring how travel, combined with personal growth and motherhood, has become a powerful force in overcoming anxiety and expanding their horizons. The article offers a glimpse into the twins’ fears, successes, and their mission to empower other women through organized tours.
