June 2016
Italy was where it all began. I landed in Rome, heart pounding, unsure of what I was doing but knowing I had to go. At my mentor’s house, I took my first unsteady steps into the unknown — still gripping the past, still questioning everything, but already beginning to unravel. It was the soft start to something much bigger: a reckoning I couldn’t yet name, but could feel in my bones.

June 2016
Budapest was the beginning of the letting go — the first time I truly slowed down and started listening. With no real plan and nothing but time, I wandered the city alone, letting its beauty unravel my tight grip on control. This was where the old life started to fade, and the questions began to rise: Who am I without the job, the performance, the purpose?

Romania was where the shape of my journey shifted. From mystical forests to mist-covered mountains, something ancient stirred in me here. It was the place where I let myself slow down and begin to feel. Amid the quiet of the Carpathians and the colorful streets of Brașov, I was initiated into what it meant to trust my intuition — not as a theory, but as a way of life.

In Greece, the external beauty was breathtaking, but it was the internal tectonic shifts that marked this chapter. The Aegean waters mirrored back the tension between who I had been and who I was becoming. I was learning, for the first time, how to stay with myself through discomfort instead of fleeing. Greece was not a chapter of romance, but of deep self-inquiry, silence, and soul-sensing… a turning point in the pilgrimage inward.

Myanmar offered me paradox: poverty and beauty, simplicity and depth, loneliness and unexpected kindness. The journey took me through temples, long train rides, and soul-stirring encounters with strangers who mirrored my deeper truths. This was a chapter of humility, surrender, and awe.

Indonesia was a chapter of initiation into mysticism, artistry, and burnout. In Java, I encountered sacred crafts and ancient wisdom. In Bali, I came face-to-face with my exhaustion. It was the threshold between devotion and collapse — a mirror of how deeply I’d been chasing purpose.

Australia brought love. And with it, the tension between freedom and attachment. Road trips, laughter, longing — it was a romantic high that tested my commitment to the path. This chapter explored the dance between intimacy and individuation.

In Tasmania, I slowed down. Immersed in nature and creative connection, I met a new way of living — one rooted in simplicity, beauty, and love. A pivotal conversation reframed my relationship to art, money, and self-worth. This chapter glowed with the quiet power of possibility.

New Zealand brought reunion and reckoning. I reconnected with a love from Australia and faced the question: do I choose the fairy tale, or the fire? Among fjords and open roads, I made the brave decision to continue my journey alone. It was a chapter of clarity and courage.

Hawaii was rupture. A coercive hosting situation pushed me into fear, isolation, and survival mode. But it was also the beginning of reclamation — the moment I chose myself. Amidst the chaos, I found my voice and began stepping into the woman who would one day lead others home.

Back in the U.S., I touched the life I’d left behind — and realized I could never return. The San Francisco chapter was about clarity: I didn’t want the old path. I was ready to build something new. It was the final break from Plan B.

Panama was the seed of my future. A retreat center in the jungle, a surf town’s stillness — this chapter hinted at the woman I was becoming. Here, I began to own my power as a guide, storyteller, and coach. It was the beginning of a new kind of service.

Connecticut was the return — but not to who I had been. It was the quiet, reflective landing in my mother’s house that revealed how much I had changed. In the stillness of familiarity, I realized I couldn’t go back. The journey wasn’t ending — it was just beginning, on entirely new terms.
