She speaks five languages, has spent a decade as a traveling volunteer on organic farms, and has built a life that most people wouldn't dare to imagine. In this episode, she traces it all the way back: to the instinct that said rest after college, to a stranger in Florida who offered her a pub job in Galway, to a phone call at their grandfather's grave that told her to go to Budapest. This is Part 1 of Julia's story. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt the pull toward something that didn't make sense on paper and wondered if they were crazy for wanting it.
