When it comes to facing your fears, sometimes you have to get creative. A clear-cut example of someone whos managed to outsmart the very thing that terrifies her is Jacqui Kennedy, the woman who runs the Agoraphobic Traveller Instagram account. Typically, traveling is one of the last activities youd associate with someone who has agoraphobia, which Psychology Today defines as a fear of any place where escape may be difficult, including large open spaces or crowds, as well as various means of travel.

In Kennedys case, her unique approach to dealing with the condition has sparked inspiring conversations around agoraphobia and how those who live with the restrictive, anxiety-inducing disorder can better cope.

After she began collecting snapshots in 2015, Kennedys sister encouraged her to continue with her hobby. Today, Agoraphobic Traveller is a collection of street scenes Kennedy curated based on her emotional response to each photo.

As she told National Geographic, the act of choosing photos that resonate with her helped Kennedy to hone a unique world perspective.

Kennedys Instagram features photos from places like New Mexico, Peru, Canada and everywhere in between. She intentionally curates images that dont usually include lots of people, instead opting to highlight random structures, animals, and the landscape.

To date, Kennedy has snapped over 27,000 screenshots, a far cry from the 200 photos on her Instagram page. But still, her perusal of Google Street View represents a sort of freedom from the isolation and loneliness agoraphobics experience.

Its connected me with so many other people that have agoraphobia, so I dont feel so alone with it, Kennedy told National Geographic. It does make me what to travel more. It makes me want to face my fears.
