At twenty-two, the author abandons the "safe" path - work, money, stability - to travel the world. What begins as a search for meaning turns into a raw journey: wrong mountains in Tajikistan, solitude across Asia, extreme training in Thailand, arrests, thefts, losses, and encounters that leave invisible scars. This is neither a self-help book nor a travel guide. It is an intimate account of someone confronting fear, guilt, masculinity, family, and the question no one truly knows how to answer: who am I when no one is watching? Between airports, borders, and silences, this book is about growing up without a map, making mistakes without guarantees, and learning that sometimes, getting lost is the only way to begin finding yourself.
