Here's what the series is all about:
Episode 1
In her first episode, she talks about the concept of truth and how it varies among individuals and communities. She explains that we see truth as an absolute concept and the reality about it is very subjective. She says, "Each of us grows up in a unique environment, influenced by our culture, societal norms, and personal experiences which shape our version of what is right and wrong. This becomes our truth”. She also says that traveling has taught her that truth is not a singular universal concept but a spectrum of perspectives.
Episode 2
In her second episode, Aakansha talks about how she struggles to find the secret to her happiness. She kept on chasing happiness in big and unique travel adventures. She kept on chasing more and more ways to find happiness but later realized that happiness is found in the smallest and most boring moments which she failed to see. She found happiness when she was able to witness simple and basic experiences when she visited Lombok, a small island in Indonesia.
Episode 3
In her third episode, she had to face things like a travel mishap. She talks about how we cannot control certain situations and the only thing we can control is the way we react to these situations when they occur unexpectedly. She talks about how we must shift our perspective and focus on what we can control, which is ultimately our reaction and this doesn’t apply only to travel alone.
Episode 4
When she first set out to travel the world solo, she was terrified and wasn’t sure if people would talk to her, help her, if she would feel lonely in between travel. She talks about how a lot of us are all the same despite language barriers or any other things. But that hadn’t stopped her from sharing incredible moments with people. She also says that although each of us has different roles and perspectives in life, everyone is navigating life with the same mix of struggles and this has dawned a realization that we are all in this together.
