How did traveling 6,000 miles bring you home?

The Storyworth Podcast
Episode Description

Almost 20 years ago, Adel had a chance encounter on a rooftop in India that changed the course of his life forever. In this episode, the French-Algerian New Yorker shares how that experience, thousands of miles from anywhere he's lived, helped him reconnect to home.

I feel that was the question, you know, how do you get back home? When you have the feeling that you’re not and that any place that you're in is is lacking something about that, right? And for me, home is, it's another complicated story. You know, I grew up in Paris, but I'm not from, you know, I was not born there. I was born in Algeria, which has a very complicated relation with France. You know, Paris is the closest thing that feels like home, but a weird home, you know, where you don't always feel welcome.
