Have you ever thought that maybe life could be…different? That maybe there’s another path, an adventure, stashed away for no one but you. This adventure, it’s buried out there, and if you don’t do something, it’ll stay buried till long after you’re gone. This is a story of losing yourself in the world. I'm Jonny Wright, and I left my home, my job, and the USA in order to learn the old-fashioned way: with first-hand experience. Some people go on a journey to find themselves. I went on a journey to lose myself—and instead find the world. In these episodes, I ask big questions about life, not from an armchair but from roadsides and mountaintops, from temple halls and dance halls. Join me as I hitchhike across the world, embrace the unexpected, and let go, one step at a time. If you’ve ever thought about living a life outside the box, keep listening. Because this isn’t just about my story. It’s about what happens when you start to wonder what your story could be. You don’t need to hitchhike around the world. I’m here to empower you to live with more courage, more curiosity, and more adventure, right here, right now. Let’s go and find out.
What happens when you leave behind everything familiar—and follow a question instead of a plan?

Jonny is restless. Comfortable, but quietly unraveling. In this debut episode, he walks away from his home in Asheville, a steady job, and the safety of routine to hitchhike around the world with no fixed plan, no finish line, and no idea what comes next. As he stares down his own fears, talks with a seasoned hitchhiker, and finally sticks out his thumb, Jonny discovers that sometimes the scariest part of a leap isn’t the landing. ...
Jonny arrives in New York City with nothing but a backpack and a sense of uncertainty about his future. Feeling disconnected from his old identity as a musician, Jonny meets with Taz, a wild and free-spirited musician, and the two create an impromptu, raw musical collaboration in a church sanctuary.

Jonny takes off from New York City on a one-way flight to Europe, escaping the chaos of the States and stepping into the unknown. On his transatlantic journey, he meets Syd, a fellow traveler with a story of her own. As they share their fears, hopes, and life changes, Jonny realizes he’s not as alone as he thought. There are others out there, just as lost and seeking. Together, they embark on parallel paths toward new beginnings, n...
Jonny is searching. Not just for new places, but for a life that feels like his. In this episode, he drifts through Belgium, meeting two men living vastly different paths: one rooted and conventional, the other artistic and free. But neither life fits. A surreal, moonlit encounter on a hill outside Leuven reveals a third path: strange, silent, and unnamable. As the episode unfolds, Jonny grapples with the tension between motion and...
While on the hunt for a simple baguette in Leuven, Jonny finds himself drawn into Peggy’s world, a former belle whose dazzling days of secret lovers, high drama, and luxurious escapades now live only in faded photographs and empty jewelry drawers. Her raw, unfiltered recollections of a life once vibrant and now quietly fading, force Jonny to confront how even the most brilliant chapters eventually yield to time.

Jonny is unraveling. The stories he’s told about himself are starting to fray. In this episode, he walks the parks of Brussels with Mia, who believes identity is something we weave, and flashes back to New York, where he met Goga, a wild, grounded presence living entirely outside of narrative. Goga eats from the trash, sleeps wherever he lands, and lives without planning or performance. Moved by their example, Jonny makes an impuls...
For months, Jonny hitchhiked across country after country, always reaching his destination. The story became part of his identity: he was the hitchhiker who always made it. But on one long day from Istanbul to Greece, that streak finally breaks. In this episode, Jonny confronts failure, control, and what’s left when the story you’ve built around yourself begins to collapse.

When Jonny arrives in Warsaw to visit Sören Sieg, a composer, comedian, and magnetic host of extravagant house concerts, he’s not sure what to expect. The villa is grand, the music nonstop, the personalities larger than life. But behind the performance, Jonny begins to notice something deeper: a restlessness, a loneliness, a need to fill every silence.
As the night unfolds, what begins as a quirky artist portrait transforms into a q...
In the Polish countryside, Jonny wrestles with a familiar temptation: productivity. A film score project offers purpose and momentum. But at what cost? As messages from friends old and new flood in, the quiet of the farm becomes deafening. Through bonfires, reveries, and a rising sense of restlessness, Jonny must decide whether to stay in the safe rhythm of work… or return to the deeper, stranger path that first called him to trave...
In My President, Jonny meets Hande, a sharp, enigmatic woman with a mischievous glint and a mind that moves fast. What begins as playful texting quickly spirals into a flirtatious, imaginary world of governments, power plays, and made-up titles. But beneath the banter, something real stirs. As Jonny follows Hande through concerts, conversations, and an abandoned building, he finds himself drawn closer—and terrified. This is the epi...
In Krakow, Jonny meets Tomasz, a mercurial philosopher, and Weronika, a sharp-eyed artist. At first, there’s tension: a subtle contest for connection.

This episode explores the rare chemistry between three friends whose bond defies easy definition, revealing how conflict, ...
In this episode, Jonny returns to spend luminous days with friends Weronika and Tomasz before their paths diverge—toward work, study, and, for Tomasz, an uncertain future.

The story moves between memory and aftermath, grappling with the paradox of a brilliant but unfinished life, and...
Jonny breaks his solo streak as he sprints south toward a full-moon gathering in Macedonia. After landing in Belgrade, he falls into an easy, platonic rhythm with Beyza, a soft-spoken Turkish MD, and the two decide to hitchhike together to Skopje. The road answers with set pieces worthy of a fable: a ride in a brand-new ambulance, a Macedonian traffic-cop instructor who forbids seatbelts and leaves the car rolling backward, and a n...
In Gate to the Rainbow, Jonny leaves the city behind and climbs into the mountains on a search for the hidden Rainbow Gathering. The path narrows, the rain closes in, and every step feels like crossing deeper into another world.
