22 Ways To Armchair Travel

My DNA seems to be encoded with the instinct to move. I’ve lived as a nomad since birth. Both sides of my family were travelers in every sense which are physical, spiritual, and generational. They were migrants, medicine people, traders, and entrepreneurs who crossed worlds to understand their communities. Even though I was born in a different era, I inherited their rhythm.
我的基因似乎天生帶着流動的本能。我自出生起便以類似遊牧方式生活。外祖與內祖兩邊的家族都以各種形式四處遷移。他們是移民、療癒者、商旅與開拓者,跨越地域與文化,只為更了解自己所屬的群體。即使我生於另一個年代,我依然承繼了他們的節奏。

As a child, I moved from home to home and often felt like an outsider. Much of my life was spent searching for a place where I belonged, across cities and continents. Only later did I realise that this wandering helped me uncover my spiritual and soulful home. It wove together cultures, histories, and lived experiences into a deeper understanding of who I am through what I’ve seen, touched, felt, and learned.
童年時,我在不同的家之間輾轉,常常覺得自己是局外人。人生很長一段時間,我都在城市與洲際之間尋找歸屬。直到後來我才明白,這段漂泊讓我找到精神與靈魂真正的家。它把文化、歷史與生命經驗編織起來,透過所見、所觸、所感與所學,帶我更深地理解自己。

People define “travel” in many ways. For some, it’s exhilarating. For others, especially Autistic, ADHD, and Highly Sensitive families can feel overwhelming. With recent health crises, rising costs, social barriers, and limited awareness of sensory needs, many of us face increasing obstacles in movement and exploration. Stepping out of familiar environments isn’t simple, particularly when cultures operate on different time horizons. This often becomes one of the greatest challenges in mutual understanding.
人們對「旅行」有不同的定義。對某些人而言,它令人興奮;對另一些人,尤其是自閉、專注力不足過度活躍,以及高度敏感的家庭,旅行則可能令人無所適從。近年來,受健康危機、生活成本上升、社會門檻與感官需要意識不足的影響,許多人在探索上面對更大的阻力。踏出熟悉的環境並不容易,特別是當不同文化以不同節奏運行時,這往往成為彼此理解的最大挑戰之一。

As Your Atypical Resource, dedicated to guiding you beyond the medicine cabinet, I believe we can still remove many of these barriers. Today’s technology allows us to begin with a simple intention: to learn from the heart and to travel from our armchairs. Below are our curated selections across three themes— FUEL, HEAL, and FEEL— to inspire a deeper sense of connection among all beings. They offer windows into traditional and modern cultures, original inhabitants and post-colonial communities, as well as neurodivergent and neurotypical experiences worldwide. By observing past evolutions and present realities as a whole, you may also find your own roots by gently aligning what you see, feel, touch, and learn.
作為你「非典型」的資源伙伴,致力於帶領你走出藥櫃以外的世界,我相信我們仍然可以拆走許多障礙。今天的科技讓我們以簡單的心念出發:以心學習,於家中的座椅出發旅行。以下按三個主題《FUEL、HEAL、FEEL》精選內容,希望啟發眾生之間更深的連結。這些作品讓人得以窺見古今文化、原住與後殖民社群,以及世界各地多元的生活經驗。當你從整體視角觀察過去的演化與當下的現實,或許也能從所見、所感、所觸與所學之中,慢慢找回自己的根。
