About this episode

The episode explores the connection between travel and personal growth through the insights of a Cypriot businessman and a cultural historian from Easter Island.

A Cypriot businessman-turned-philosopher connects the act of travel with the larger journey of our lives, and shares how revisiting places we've been before can help us to see them — and ourselves — in a new light. Plus, a cultural historian based on Easter Island recommends ways to experience the diverse cultures of the far-flung nations of the south seas.
