ep.122 Travel is Amazing. Seriously.
Two months into his journey around the world, Isshin passionately shares his travel lifestyle. This episode serves as a showcase of Isshin’s "travel pride," as he and co-host Tomoki enjoy a relaxed conversation about the realizations and personal growth that travel brings.
The habit of journaling while traveling has become a staple.
During his travels, Isshin has made it a point to keep a daily journal. While he struggled to maintain a routine in his everyday life, he finds it easy to write every single day on the road. By using an app to look back on entries from years ago, he is able to objectively reflect on what he was thinking and the struggles he faced in the past.
Comparing the past self to the present self is fascinating.
When looking back at his journals, memories of how he felt during his travels around Japan years ago become vivid. In the completely different environment of his current world tour—surrounded by new languages and cultures—he strongly feels his personal growth through the mirror of his past self. These changes serve as a major source of his daily motivation.
The appeal of traveling is deep enough to boast about.
In the latter half of the episode, a discussion begins regarding the difference between a "vacation" and a "journey" (tabi). Isshin shares his perspective on the distinction between leisure travel and living a life while constantly moving. For those curious to hear about the deep charm of traveling that Isshin discovered while rediscovering himself, be sure to listen to the full episode.
