In this episode, Benny Lewis shares a personal story about the misconception that travel can cure depression. Reflecting on his own struggles with divorce, clinical depression, and burnout in 2019, Benny explains how he attempted to heal by traveling, only to find that it made things worse. He emphasizes that travel is not a solution for depression and stresses the importance of seeking therapy and building healthy routines instead.

Benny also shares how, after working on his mental health, he was able to enjoy travel again, including a fulfilling climb up Kilimanjaro. He encourages listeners to focus on healing first, rather than using travel as an escape, so they can truly appreciate future adventures.
