Right, here we go. The idea: A guest and I scroll through our notes app, say “stop”, and reveal whatever comes up. It's essentially Russian Roulette but without death. Welcome to the first episode of Secret Phone Notes! Today I'm joined by Elina, a filmmaker from New Zealand who now lives in Japan. We've never met before but I guess that fits the spontaneity. As it turns out, years ago, we were only 2 weeks apart as we both hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. One made it, one didn't. This pops up as does growing up in the cult of Korean Jesus. Rough timestamps:00:00 – What this podcast actually is06:00 – A very small world story in Sweden's arctic circle15:00 – Elina’s oldest note (it’s a lot) 27:00 – What it's like growing up in a cult45:00 – Identity, independence & long walks53:00 – Realising how small the Pacific Crest Trail world isElina is a filmmaker and long-distance hiker and a generally wonderful soul. She made a film about walking the Pacific Crest Trail called It’s the People, which is genuinely class and well worth a watch.
