Improving the Travel Experience
Danielle Travis, from Maui, Hawaii founded The Barrier Method in 2016. She had a huge frustration getting sick when she traveled to the mainland to compete in polo tournaments.
She loved traveling, but did not enjoy getting sick. After a couple days after arriving at her destination, she would always get a sinus infection making her days miserable, while still having to compete! It totally hindered her performance.
Instead of focusing on the game, she had to think about going to the doctor, get meds, and pay out of pocket on top of her already expensive trip.
She was definitely sick of it. And sick days no more.
Masks, although are not mandated at the moment, they are apart of our lives now and so many people are still wearing masks everywhere and on airplanes. When in crowded spaces, it's always smart to wear The Barrier Method. Danielle didn’t think masks would be the norm so quickly due to the pandemic, but her dreams sure came true in the most unexpected way.
She thanks you all for your support!!
Stay safe and Healthy out there everyone. ❤️
