"Have you ever been to tomorrow?" This simple question stopped me in my tracks. We worry so much about a future that doesn't exist yet. Watch the full conversation here 👇

I almost deleted this video yesterday.
The original thumbnail didn't do justice to the incredible story this Monk shared about losing his brother. I've updated it to better reflect the journey. If you missed it, this conversation in a Thai Monk University completely changed my perspective on grief. 🌿👇

Finding Peace After His Brother’s Death | A Monk Journey
This conversation is about grief, but it’s also about much more than loss.
We talk about learning to stay present, how the mind creates suffering by replaying the past or worrying about the future, and what daily practice actually looks like when life doesn’t go the way we hoped.
There’s humor here.
There’s honesty.
There’s a quiet steadiness that doesn’t try to fix anything.
If you’re curious about how monks think about time, patience, attention, and peace: this journey holds space for all of it.
The full conversation is now live. 🧘

✨ Most people never start.
Many start and quit.
Very few make it to 1,000,000 views. ✨
I just noticed my channel passed 1,000,000 views and I’m honestly stunned.
Thanks to everyone who’s walked a few miles of trail, road, and life with me here.
More stories coming. Always.

This one is personal.
Living in the Philippines taught me a lot about warmth, connection, and generosity; but it also forced me to confront something I’d been fighting for years: my need for solitude in a world that celebrates constant togetherness.
This video isn’t a criticism of Filipino culture. It’s an honest look at what it can feel like to be an introvert in a deeply social place, and how learning to honor quiet changed the way I show up... in travel, friendships, and life.
If you’ve ever felt drained by “mandatory fun,” or wondered why alone time feels so necessary, I think you’ll understand this one.
I’d love to hear your thoughts after you watch 👇

Quick check-in: there won’t be a video this week. I’m in between places and taking a few quiet days before the next chapter.
The next video goes live January 5; a reflective one about being an introvert in the Philippines.
Thanks for the patience and for being here.

Before I leave the Philippines, I want to say a sincere thank you to @jeffhamac6662 and @31Reyn for the holiday support. It meant a lot during a transitional stretch.
And thank you to everyone who’s been quietly following along. This chapter is closing, but the journey isn’t. 🤍

With the rainy season here in Siargao, I'm remembering one of the scariest moments of my life, in Bolivia (It's not the time I went blind!). Have you seen this one yet? 🌧️ https://youtu.be/qpPqlwFZHSY
