We all yearn to run away from everyday life sometimes, and now, some people are actually doing it! Living the digital nomad life offers so much experience, broadness, and self-reflection. 

In this illuminating episode, Yuri Chu Su unveils the transformative power of a 20-month trip through 23 countries, 90 different beds, and 80 flights – a voyage that led her to a reflective pause in Argentina. 

Yuri shares insightful life lessons gleaned from her experiences traveling across continents, as well as her deeper inner journey.

Choosing destinations is not as significant as seizing the chance to engage in intense self-work, make new friends, experience other cultures, and look for life-changing experiences that mold the core of who you are.

The act of planning life journeys proves to be profoundly beneficial and inspirational. What does your upcoming year entail? It need not solely involve travel. Consider embarking on a journey for 2024 that resonates with your aspirations!
