The day my Japanese succeeded in the wrong lane

I left Vietnam with the hardest goodbye, and landed in Bali with an open heart

Reflections from a year of travel with lessons in clarity, love, freedom, and grounding
Travel isn't (only) escape; it's practice for life. Wrong turns, unexpected conversations, and wild adventures call us to wake up, pay attention, and grow.
Travel is a mirror, showing us who we are and who we could become.
I'm Matthew, and Getting Unlost is how I make sense of messy moments, and share them to help you do the same.
If you've ever felt stuck, these stories are for you.
