When you finally open yourself up to life’s possibility, amazing things can happen. This week, host Lisa Hoashi shares the full story of what happened on her own sabbatical -- what unfolded after her last day of work. She’s given up everything: her career, her apartment and most of her possessions, and her life and community in Portland, Oregon. Her solo journey tests her physical and emotional limits, and is guided by an array of surprising characters along the way. A retired Microsoft executive gives her invaluable advice in a Washington old growth forest. A persuasive friend compels her to ditch her well-laid plans and board a plane to Provence. A Catalan farmer invites her to visit his farm north of Barcelona and she falls in love, both with the place and the man. Lisa’s journey might have ended here, if it wasn’t for an expiring Schengen visa. Forced to continue her journey, she finds herself alone again (and miserable) in Buenos Aires. Then, a 23-year-old German girl invites her on a crazy adventure to hitchhike all the way to Tierra del Fuego. It’s the adventure of a lifetime, but will it take her too far from her new love? This is a story of navigating one series of unknowns to another and listening to your heart at every crossroads, until the way reveals itself at last. Today, Lisa lives on the farm with her Catalan farmer and their daughter, where she runs her own coaching business for others on similar journeys. Show notes at www.lisahoashi.com. Follow us!
