That Time I (Rightly) Felt Out of Place in Tokyo


Listen Later

Feeling out of place can be an overwhelming experience, and today, I share a personal story from my recent trip to Japan that highlights this very sentiment.


After a grueling 15-hour journey, I found myself navigating the bustling Tokyo Narita airport, grappling with language barriers and the pressure of making the right travel decisions. Despite my fears of getting lost or making a mistake, I discovered that the systems in place were much more accommodating than I anticipated. As I recount my journey from the airport to the train platform, you'll hear about the awkwardness, anxiety, and ultimately the relief that accompanied my travels. 

Join me as I explore the lessons learned from this experience and embrace the beauty of feeling out of place.

Takeaways:
  •  Feeling out of place is a universal experience; everyone has their own version of it. 
  •  Even in overwhelming situations, trusting the system and people can lead to positive outcomes. 
  •  Awkwardness and nervousness are common feelings when navigating unfamiliar environments and cultures. 
  •  Sometimes, the fear of making mistakes can be more daunting than the actual experience itself.
