I came here all alone without really knowing what I was looking for.

Perhaps itโ€™s peace. Perhaps itโ€™s clarity. Or maybe just a sense of purpose in a world that tends to punish those who seek meaning.

Itโ€™s day 5 out of 13, and this trip has been nothing short of life-changing.

I made a new friend on a rooftop in Hamamatsuchล, woke up at 4AM just to catch the sunrise over Mt. Fuji, and cycled all around Kawaguchiko Lake in under 6 hours(!).

It made me realise just how big this world is, and how much life has to offer to those who keep on searching โ€” even when they feel lost.

To whoever reads this next:

I hope life gives you at least one trip where you learn just how peaceful your own company can be.

This was mine.
