This season is personal. I share stories from my treks and travels, from places I once kept to myself.For a long time, I didn’t tell anyone where I went. Those journeys shaped how I see the world. They led me to build a home in the hills, now called Fifth Estate. Season 3 is about those experiences, the people I met, and the moments that stayed with me. If travel has ever changed you, this will feel familiar.
