ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Notes to Self is a documentary‑style podcast rooted in the notes I collect on my phone and elsewhere — the moments, questions, and half‑formed thoughts that linger. Together, we follow where those notes lead, into the real stories of living, working, and figuring things out far from home.

In this emotional episode, I give you a glimpse into my 7 attempts to reach the Dome of the Rock.
