Craig Mod is an artist, author, and photographer who has lived in Japan for 25 years, chronicling the country through thousands of miles of recent solo walks. We explore walking as inner cartography—a practice that transforms attention into meaning. We discuss Craig's journey from his best friend's murder in Connecticut to finding home in Tokyo, the ineffable Japanese concept of "yōyū," reconciling adoption trauma through movement, and how 300-mile walks without digital distraction became his path to healing.

I am a big fan of what Craig Mod is doing, so I listened to the 2-hour-long podcast episodes with Tim Ferriss. It was super interesting to listen to! Second episode is right here https://podcastindex.org/podcast/739525?episode=35378646190
