What can a Shaolin monk teach us about energy? What can we learn from a 100-year-old woman, or a street food stall-owner?

I’m Adan, and I’ve spent my life asking these questions as a traveling journalist and creator, working for many years across China and Asia.

I’ve trained with kung fu masters, interviewed CEOs, and escaped encounters with literal secret agents. I learned that in our disconnected world, we’re all missing a piece of the puzzle.

Mind Body Globe is an experiment in connection. World-changing ideas from everyone, everywhere.

Here I share lenses into local culture — travel content, deep dives, as well as wellness and spiritual practices from around the world.

We’re at a crossroads, fighting with fear, a broken system, and the struggles of modern life. My mission is to help us explore and thrive on this planet together.

Looking forward to the journey!
