Travis Barker took a huge step in overcoming his fear of flying after the musician boarded a plane with Kourtney Kardashian over the weekend.
Travis Barker Overcomes His Fear Of Flying
The star is well-known for having a fear of flying after he survived a plane crash that had occurred in 2008. While he was lucky to survive, along with another passenger, the trauma of it all did not end there. Not only did Travis have to seek some therapy in order to bury his demons, but he also saw the other survivor die from a drug overdose a year later.
To make matters even worse, Travis suffered from severe burns on his body which required extensive surgery. With that in mind, what better way for Travis to travel than to go with his close family. According to TMZ, Travis went on the plane with Kris Jenner, Corey Gamble and Kourtney. They took the journey on Kylie Jenner’s jet, as seen in the photo here.
This is a huge step in Travis’ life, as he made it a long-term commitment to eventually overcome his fear. Although he did do it with the support of his family, it is still a huge achievement, and it will give him the confidence to eventually fly alone. In a prior interview with Men’s Health, Travis outlined his desire to overcome his fear.
He said: “I have to. I want to make the choice to try and overcome it.” The main reason why he wants to overcome it is to show his children that anything is possible. Besides the obvious benefits that travelling on a plane can give someone, Travis wants to teach his kids that there is nothing to fear in life.
And by finally doing this, he has shown them that he is ready to take his kids along too. He added: “If I do it, and the angels above help me in my travels and keep me safe, I would like to come back and [tell my kids], ‘Hey, I just flew here, and then I flew home. And everything was fine.’ I have to tell them.”
It is great to see Travis finally putting his difficulties behind him. If you liked reading this article, then check out our other features on the Daily Soap Dish. Please also visit The Go To Family for all of the latest exciting news on all of your favourite daytime television soaps.
