A few years ago, I went on a solo trip to Japan. At the time, I was navigating significant challenges and hoped to step back, pause, and gain clarity about my next steps.
The trip was incredible—it gave me space to reflect and recharge. But when I returned home, I realized the root causes of my struggles were still there, unchanged.
To truly grow and move forward, I needed to turn inward as well.
External travel brings fresh experiences, perspectives, and inspiration. Inner travel transforms those experiences into deeper self-awareness and growth. Together, they create a powerful cycle of change.
After Japan, I began exploring inner travel more intentionally. Meditation taught me to observe my thoughts calmly, journaling helped clarify my emotions and goals, and therapy gave me tools for self-reflection.
Inner travel takes many forms—mindfulness, journaling, therapy, or even sitting quietly with your thoughts. What matters is the courage to face yourself with honesty and compassion.
The next time you feel stuck, consider taking both journeys.
