Ordinary is Amazing — Satori from Japan

Satori was thirteen when the 2011 tsunami destroyed her hometown in Sendai, Japan. She went to volunteer in the aftermath. It left her with something most people spend their whole lives trying to find: a bone-deep sense that life is short, failure doesn't mean much, and ordinary is amazing.I met Satori on a tour in Kazakhstan and we kept crossing paths after that across Central Asia, before I visited her in Japan. A year later, we reconnected in Australia. In this conversation: why she does things without being qualified for them, how she's been quietly building toward her dream one small step at a time, and getting naked in the milky hot springs of Japan.Find Satori on her travel blog: https://www.youtube.com/@shijimi_travelNew episodes every Wednesday - follow so you don't miss them!
