Have you ever thought that maybe life could be…different? That maybe there’s another path, an adventure, stashed away for no one but you. This adventure, it’s buried out there, and if you don’t do something, it’ll stay buried till long after you’re gone.
This is a story of losing yourself in the world.
I'm Jonny Wright, and I left my home, my job, and the USA in order to learn the old-fashioned way: with first-hand experience.
Some people go on a journey to find themselves. I went on a journey to lose myself—and instead find the world.
In these episodes, I ask big questions about life, not from an armchair but from roadsides and mountaintops, from temple halls and dance halls.
Join me as I hitchhike across the world, embrace the unexpected, and let go, one step at a time.
If you’ve ever thought about living a life outside the box, keep listening.
Because this isn’t just about my story. It’s about what happens when you start to wonder what your story could be.
You don’t need to hitchhike around the world. I’m here to empower you to live with more courage, more curiosity, and more adventure, right here, right now.
Let’s go and find out.

Jonny is searching. Not just for new places, but for a life that feels like his.

A surreal, moonlit encounter on a hill outside Leuven reveals a third path—strange, silent, and unnamable. As the episode unfolds, Jonny grapples with the tension between motion and meaning, rhythm and rut, and wonders: what kind of life can hold both change and belonging? This is the crossroads. The place between stories. The edge before the next leap.

Episode 1: Leaving It All
Jonny is restless. Comfortable, but quietly unraveling. In this debut episode, he walks away from his home in Asheville, a steady job, and the safety of routine to hitchhike around the world—with no fixed plan, no finish line, and no idea what comes next. As he stares down his own fears, talks with a seasoned hitchhiker, and finally sticks out his thumb, Jonny discovers that sometimes the scariest part of a leap isn’t the landing—it’s the letting go. This is where the journey begins: not in a new country, but in the decision to leave everything behind.

Season 1 Epilogue
Published 6 Nov 2025 · Transcript excerpt
[…] But the process was so interesting to me that it really didn't feel claustrophobic. I have to admit though, now I'm getting a bit antsy. Okay, here are three lessons I learned from making this podcast. I think these lessons are applicable for you too. And why is that? Because all of us are telling our stories all the time. It's a big part of what we do as humans. We do it when we gossip, when we sit around a meal, when we catch up with family. So let me share these three quick lessons. Lesson one. A good memory is not the same thing as a good story. I came into making this podcast with all these memories and all this writing from my journey. […]
