In this episode, I share what happened when I returned to Japan on a solo research trip. This time as a conscious traveler with a completely different intention.


I dig deeper into:



  • Why I went back and what I was looking for
  • The difference between visit before and after the shift of becoming a conscious traveler
  • What the quiet, the pace, and the lower season did for my nervous system
  • The conscious travel choices that changed what I experienced
  • What Japan gives you when you finally stop rushing through it
  • What I'd tell a woman of color considering a solo trip to Japan
