What if the path to healing and self-discovery lay not in monumental changes but in the simple act of slowing down? Join me as I recount my journey of finding peace in the charming streets of Paris and the comforting company of old friends in Strasbourg, following a personal upheaval. These experiences in France offered a refreshing antidote to the chaos, allowing me to process my emotions with a newfound lightness. The episode takes you through my enriching adventure in Ecuador, where the diverse landscapes and cultural contrasts—like the intricate art of Panama hat-making—invited me to embrace new experiences at a more mindful pace.

Through the lens of slow travel, I invite you to reflect on how stepping away from the familiar can be a therapeutic escape. This episode isn't just about my travels; it's an invitation for listeners to engage with their own travel experiences and share their stories. As we wrap up this reflective journey, I look forward to our next episode, where a friend will join us to share her captivating experiences of living in Japan. Together, we'll uncover more stories of adaptation and cultural discovery. Let's keep the conversation going, and may your own travels bring you the same sense of peace and rejuvenation.
