I was a tour guide for close to eight years for a luxury adventure travel company.

And so I took people on biking and hiking vacations all over the world.

I still feel a tiny bit of rage.

I have fingernail marks in my palm because I'm squeezing it so hard to just not be, you know, to not react or not do anything or even like physically touch her because I wanted to move her away from me.

And I just let her lay into me.

And it's one of my biggest regrets.

In the whole time was just that I never stood up for myself.

And I was, I think it was in protection of the group, you know, of like, it wasn't just me that it was going to affect if I did something or said something back or whatever.

And we're stuck in this valley that really we were her only way out of it.

addressing issues immediately is definitely the best way to go and a lot of times as a tour guide you have to find creative ways to do that without it being too direct if there is misbehavior that is aggressive it needs to be dealt with immediately to save the rest of the the folks and the and the people on trip because it's not fair to them
