In this episode, Tom spoke to journalist and author Ash Bhardwaj; whose award-winning book, Why we Travel, takes an impassioned look at the psychology behind the journeys we take – going far beyond the "where" to examine the much more complicated question of "why".
It’s a heartfelt conversation that covers identity, wonder, healing, and the many, variegated forms of “fun” – from experiences that we only enjoy in retrospect to those that throw us in a total flow state.
You’ll also find Ash’s quickfire travel recommendations; probably not including the time he was detained by the KGB in Belarus.
