After a first episode about his 9-month bike trip, Yonas came back to tell us about the most impactful part of his journey: India and Nepal. For three months, he explored, two months in India and one in Nepal, part of it on his bike, part on crowded trains, always guided by curiosity.

In this episode, he shares what it’s like to live day by day on the road, between freedom and discomfort, chaos and silence. We also talk about his silent retreat in Nepal, the difference between the two countries, and the moments that marked him, from wild monkeys stealing food to conversations with strangers and the beauty of untouched nature.

For 56 days, Max ran and walked 1,400 kilometers around Belgium to support refugees through the association BelRefugees. Each night, he was hosted by strangers who opened their homes, offering him meals, stories, and inspiration. Along the way, he discovered the hospitality and kindness of Belgians and the power of small acts of solidarity.

This episode is about movement, both physical and human. Max shares what inspired him to start, what he learned on the road, and how the people he met changed his perspective on Belgium, migration, and community.

Wells Tad Jones has lived many lives — from pararescueman to actor, writer, and producer — but through it all, he has been searching for one thing: purpose. In this episode, he shares the wisdom his mother gave him at 15: ‘You have no business going anywhere until you handle where you are.’ That lesson shaped his resilience and became a guide as he trekked through the Middle East, built his own production company, and learned to adapt in moments of challenge and change.

Wells also reflects on his travels through Israel and Saudi Arabia in the early 2000s, connecting what he saw then to the conflicts of today. At the heart of his story is the question of how we each find where we are meant to serve — and how travel can reveal not just the world around us, but our place within it.
