If you've ever wanted to travel abroad but were afraid something bad might happen, A Boy & A Girl artist Natalie Nourigat makes the case for just going for it in her webcomic Home Is Where The Internet Is.

Over the past year Nourigat has shared both comic strips and blog posts about her travels through Europe, but this latest strip stands out as less of a travelogue and more of a motivational speech.

"For most of my life, my everyday choices were based on the assumption that I could not trust other people," she wrote. "I thought it was my job to foresee and prevent all harms from befalling me." As she got older, though, she said she accepted two simple facts: everybody dies, and "I would like to live a little first."

It's a great strip, and if you've ever thought twice about international travel, it might make you think a third time.
