Synopsis
On a transformational one-year journey around the world, author Kristina Liu found more than just spectacular scenery and exquisite food: she found herself. Travel with Kristina as she traverses three continents and twelve cities—from her wine tasting in South Africa to romance and adventures in South America to her life-changing plant medicine retreat in the Amazon jungle. It’s a journey that opened her eyes to a world of possibilities and revealed profound personal truths. It will also inspire you to venture outside your comfort zone and claim what is fully possible for you.
My Thoughts
When you travel to a foreign land, do you experience this new place as your old self? Or do you become a new version of you? Traveling have a long association with the notion of transformation, both in terms of self and social collectives. What is surprising, however, is that this association has, on the whole, remained relatively underexplored and unchallenged. Through The Inside Out Journey: An Elusive Search for Self Across Three Continents Kristina Liu share her deep experiences in an engaging way.
With a focus on complex ideas, this book takes a broader approach to the overall book theme and is able to synthesise knowledge in a refreshing style. The book takes the reader on a journey to explore new and emerging perspectives of transformation and in doing so engage in a range of interdisciplinary analyses.
By recounting the existential lessons from her journey, Kristina Liu challenges the reader to question how their identity has been shaped by the culture and ideas they know. To travel solo with a truly open mind is to forget who you were when you started. It is to be constantly born anew, to discover your strengths and find your path in life.
The Inside Out Journey will give you the wisdom, the inspiration, and the resources to conquer the limitations placed by your arbitrary past. Whether traveler or non-traveler, its lessons about approaching the uncomfortable and unfamiliar apply to everyone.
Highly Recommended!
