In this episode, we explore how travel shapes and reveals our inner world.
We reflect on how our earliest experiences with travel formed our relationship with freedom, discomfort, and cultural difference. From family road trips to solo adventures abroad, we share the stories that challenged our assumptions and opened up new ways of seeing.
This is a conversation about how movement through the world reshapes us: emotionally, perceptually, and philosophically. We also explore how travel helps us ask better questions - about who we are, what we value, and what kind of life we want to build.
