Notes from Somewhere is a conversation-driven travel podcast about travel as lived experience – not destination guides or bucket lists, but the stories beneath the surface. Hosted by Eri, each episode explores a city, a country, or a season of life somewhere else, and the people and places that shape us. Through intimate storytelling (something Eri brings from her work in marketing), we talk culture shock, identity, and personal growth – and the lessons that stay long after you’ve left. If you love travel stories, reflective conversations, and podcasts about culture, this one’s for you.

    003 | What I Discovered From 6 Weeks of Remote Work in France

    In this episode of Notes from Somewhere, Eri reflects on what she discovered after spending six weeks working remotely from France. From Nice, Aix-en-Provence, Lyon, Bordeaux and Paris, while balancing everyday work with the desire to be fully present somewhere new. This isn’t a conversation about productivity hacks or idealized remote work routines. It’s about the rhythm of temporarily building a life in another country and the tension between structure and spontaneity. Eri shares what it meant to navigate the quiet emotional challenge of trying to balance work, travel, and presence all at once. She also reflects on the role that food, flexibility, and cultural immersion played in shaping the experience – from long lunches to leaving parts of the trip unplanned and discovering new places along the way. The episode touches on why this season of travel mattered personally, especially while balancing wedding planning and the decision to prioritize adventure anyway. Ultimately, this is a story about what can happen when you step outside your usual routine long enough to see your life differently, and what Eri realized about the need to create novelty even when she's home in New York City.
