Monica Goes was established in 2014 to remind us that you don't need to be an expert or an adrenaline junkie to go on epic adventures. Being afraid of everything, Monica's goal was to show people you don't need to let your fears hold you back from doing something you love. If she can do it, then anyone can! Read more about Monica and Monica Goes at MonicaGoes.com. Find this and every episode of Monica Goes on YouTube, and don't forget to subscribe!
