Learn more about the unknown world through the process, not the goal
If "getting deeply involved in the unknown" is an adventure, then the important thing is the "process" rather than the "goal." In the documentary film "Porter," the director experiences the hard labor of carrying the luggage of tourists on Everest. He is fluent in Nepali, and along the way he becomes friends with his fellow porters and local people, coming to understand them deeply.
Porters carry the heavy loads of luggage brought by tourists to Everest. This documentary features the director personally experiencing this hard work. 2020 USA / Director: Nathaniel J. Menninger / Now streaming on Prime Video.
In the non-fiction book "Pilgrimage Traveler," wartime spy Nishikawa Ichizo is depicted, who remained in Tibet even after learning of Japan's defeat, continuing his journey for eight years. He trained as a Buddhist in Tibet, and continued to move around from place to place, working wherever he went. He did not aim for a specific place, but rather blended into the local culture.
At the end of World War II, a young spy named Nishikawa Ichizo infiltrates mainland China and remains there after the war ends, eventually traveling all the way to India. This book chronicles the extraordinary adventures of Nishikawa, written by a master of nonfiction. Author: Kotaro Sawaki / Shinchosha / 2,640 yen.
I myself have been passionate about long-distance hiking for many years, and recently moved to Nepal because I wanted to be more deeply connected to this place. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of adventure it will be.
