Welcome to Getting Unlost!
This is a place where wrong turns become stories worth telling. Where missed flights, awkward encounters, and unexpected detours reveal life lessons in clarity, connection, and growth.
Why This Space Exists
We all get lost at some point—in our work, in our relationships, or simply in life. Getting unlost is about seeing those moments as teachers rather than failures.
Setbacks and surprises along the road often hold the most valuable insights.
An Invitation
I'd love for this to be more than just my stories. If you've had a moment of being lost—funny, messy, or meaningful—please reach out and share it. Together, we can draw the maps that lead us forward.
Who I Am
I'm Matthew: traveler, language learner, diver, writer. Over the years, I've seen how the most surprising lessons appear when plans go sideways.
This project is my way of gathering those lessons and offering them as waypoints for anyone navigating their own journey.
A Toast to the Journey
Here's to detours, discoveries, and becoming unlost—again and again.
