Exploring what happens when you have a desire to learn a different language, and that desire takes you LITERALLY out of the country! 

In this poetic and personal 2-part episode series of My Solo Chronicles, I sit down with Prism, who as a student in 2018, spent a transformative year alone in Germany. We trace the inner and outer landscapes of her solo journey—from taking on the challenge of climbing 533-spiral stairs of the Cologne Cathedral in Germany and visiting unfamiliar streets, to the quiet moments that shaped her from within.

We talk about navigating solitude in a foreign country, and the subtle art of adapting without losing yourself.

Join us as we reflect on how living abroad alone wasn’t just about travel and education, but about learning to listen to herself, to grow through discomfort, and to come home with a deeper understanding of who she is.

When a solo trek across the U.S. at just 15 sparks a lifelong curiosity about the world beyond your front door, it can set the course for a life of bold adventures. In this three-part series, I sit down with bestselling author, producer, director, and podcaster Wells Jones to explore the early travels that fueled his passion for discovery—and ultimately led him to places most only dream about.

From serving as a pararescue and survival officer in the Antarctic with the U.S. Navy, to co-leading Kayak for a Cause (setting a Guinness World Record with 313 sea kayaks alongside co-author Miles Spencer), to Running with the Bulls in Spain, Wells has collected stories that are as daring as they are inspiring.

We also discuss his bestselling book, A Line in the Sand, and how his real-life journeys shaped the stories within. Through it all, Wells hopes to encourage others to step outside their comfort zones and discover the world for themselves.

"A Japanese garden is thought of as a living canvas". ~ Adachi Zenko (1899-1990)

What do you get when you put together 2000 pieces of art that include a collection of modern Japanese paintings, and 165,000 square meters of gardens? The Adachi Museum of Art! I can finally say that this is a museum that I can check off my "to visit" list and a museum that is unmatched. Walking through this beautifully designed museum not only calmed me but took me to a peaceful moment that nowadays don't come often. Boy was this an outing worth the wait!

Have you ever talked yourself into doing something and then wonder why you did that? Well, in today's episode I share how a simple and unknowingly "yes" to come and see the NEO Yasugi-bushi festival dance group practice, would see me not only learn a traditional Japanese dance, but prepare me for what will be the biggest stage I've NEVER been on, the annual August Yasugi Festival. Feet don't let me down!

Not in a million years did I ever think I would be one of those fortunate Army's that would get tickets to see BTS, let alone one of its members, in concert, as well as briefly visit one of Japan's most beautiful cities, Osaka. In this episode, I share how I was not only able to get a ticket to Jhope's "Hope on the Stage" concert, meet some awesome people along the way, but take in the sights and sounds of a city that is defined by its charm, lights of Dotonbori, and its welcoming vibe. It was a weekend made in heaven!

If I thought hiking Gassen Castle Ruins was intense, I was in for a rude awakening when I decided, on a whim, to "attempt" to hike one of the highest mountains in Japan, Mt. Daisen Summit. Situated in beautiful Tottori, Japan, what was originally planned as a solo challenge, turned into a team challenge when two of my friends decided to join me. Despite tapping out at 3 miles halfway up, not only did this mountain hike pull me in with its beauty and charm but convinced me to come back soon and really make it to the top. Challenge accepted!
