Wandering Desk Podcast Ep #1: Pandora's Backpack

In this, the first episode, I talk about how I left the comfortable corporate life behind to go on a life-changing trip, and how this changed things for good, whether I liked it or not.

We cover a lot of ground, including:

The epicness of your first big trip
The personal growth that comes from travel
Reverse culture shock and re-acclimatising back home
How travel expands your mind beyond its elastic limit (and how this is both a blessing and a curse)
Meeting people on the road
Stagnancy and losing your mojo
The need to be part of a community
Adapting to cultures abroad
How you ultimately gain insights into your own culture
