Some places aren’t destinations, they become part of your story, a part of your heart. I share how Japan and Norway unexpectedly shaped my life: Japan through my husband’s love for Princess Mononoke and the way its culture quietly found its way into my heart through our travels, and Norway through the serendipity of studying abroad, where I discovered love, lifelong friendships, and a piece of my soul in nature’s raw beauty.

This is a story about following life’s whispers — the places you don’t plan for, but that change you in ways you couldn’t have imagined. It’s about how travel, love, and synchronicity can lead us to discover forgotten parts of ourselves and open us to new ways of seeing the world.

If you’ve ever felt drawn to a place without knowing why, or if you long for journeys that touch you on a soul-deep level, this episode is for you. Join me in our little podcast café as we talk about Japan, Norway, and the magic of places that feel like they’ve been waiting for us all along.

So glad, that you are here.

Much love, Bettina
