Episode notes
How Tasshin Started A Four Year Pilgrimage
- Tasshin began his pilgrimage in February 2021 after leaving Maple and briefly living with his parents.
- He traveled across North America, Europe, and Asia for about four and a half years, staying on couches and guest rooms while treating travel as a spiritual practice.
The Internet Became A Moving Home
- Tasshin used the internet as a stable home while physically moving between places, maintaining daily or weekly connections.
- This digital stability let him weave relationships, find hosts, and continue projects like his podcast despite constant geographical change.
Treat Every Host As A Teacher
- Tasshin treated each person and place as a teacher, intentionally learning from facial expressions, silences, and relational cues.
- That stance turned short stays into deep training opportunities and amplified his capacity to both give and receive across contexts.
