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. It’s the letting go. This is where the journey begins: not in a new country, but in the decision to leave everything behind.Created and produced by Jonny Wright.

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 meaning, rhythm and rut, and wonders, what kind of life can hold both change and belonging? This is the crossroads. The place between stories. The edge before the next leap.Created and produced by Jonny Wright. Title design by Ellen Misloski.Got thoughts, stories, or weird travel tips?

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.Created and produced by Jonny Wright.

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 impulsive choice: to sleep outside, unprotected, in the city that never sleeps. Strawberries and Blueberries is a glimpse at the possibility of life without the life story.Created and produced by Jonny Wright.

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.Created and produced by Jonny Wright.

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 quiet revelation about childhood, memory, and the ways we construct our adult lives to fill old gaps. By the end, Jonny isn’t just seeing Sören more clearly. He’s seeing himself.Created and produced by Jonny Wright. Title design by Ellen Misloski.Got thoughts, stories, or weird travel tips?

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 travel. A spark is coming. But first, the choice to follow it.Created and produced by Jonny Wright. Title design by Ellen Misloski.Got thoughts, stories, or weird travel tips?

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 episode where charm gives way to truth, where Jonny’s greatest fear emerges: being truly seen. In a moment of near-connection, he falters. And though the encounter is electric, it ends in retreat.Created and produced by Jonny Wright. Title design by Ellen Misloski.

In Krakow, Jonny meets Tomasz, a mercurial philosopher, and Weronika, a sharp-eyed artist. At first, there’s tension: a subtle contest for connection. But over time it transforms into an unconventional friendship shaped by fierce debate, unexpected loyalty, and the quiet moments that make people choose to stay. This episode explores the rare chemistry between three friends whose bond defies easy definition, revealing how conflict, contrast, and care can coexist in the same relationship.Created and produced by Jonny Wright.

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. What follows is a layered narrative of car rides, laughter, and small rituals intercut with Weronika’s later account of Tomasz’s unraveling in Kraków. The story moves between memory and aftermath, grappling with the paradox of a brilliant but unfinished life, and asking what remains when a journey ends abruptly.Created and produced by Jonny Wright.

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 night with a kind, chaotic host, an “ogre” in his cave, whose attic refuge becomes their fort. Along the way Jonny tests what changes when travel becomes us instead of me: the risk, the laughter, and the unexpected sense of safety. As the moon swells, they part ways, Beyza north, Jonny into the woods, on the edge of whatever opens next.Created and produced by Jonny Wright. Title design by Ellen Misloski.

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. What begins as a hopeful trek turns into a threshold moment, part trial, part initiation, as Jonny confronts both the wilderness and the weight of what lies ahead.Created and produced by Jonny Wright.

Under the full moon at the Rainbow Gathering, Jonny faces his season-long antagonist: himself. What begins with talismans from the road (the soldier card, a foam tooth, a charcoal portrait) builds to a firelit rite where he chooses to dance, plunges into the lake, and is pulled into a circling, drum-driven whirlwind of memory: Taz at the piano, Syd on the plane, Hande’s unflinching gaze. For a breath he becomes “no one,” judgment drops, and belonging replaces distance. By sunrise, among ashes and a lone Czech dancer still moving, Jonny understands the cost and gift of letting go, and says yes to going further.Created and produced by Jonny Wright.
