Slow Down; Feel the Rays of Spring
Finding the flow between working and living....
18 March, 2023 No commentMy name is Vincent Russell Van Patten. I’m a writer, travel photographer, and host of The Dare to Dream Podcast, exploring what lights my soul on fire day-in and day-out. I’m currently based in Osaka, Japan, where I work as an English teacher for the ECC Foreign Language Institute.
The Dare to Dream Podcast is where my co-host and I inspire listeners to embark on the adventure of their lives. We draw wisdom from weekly guests who exemplify what is possible when you have the courage to live a life that is truly yours.
My debut book: Arrows of Youth: A Young Man’s Inspiring Journey to Find What Lights His Soul on Fire, is a story of adventure, an ode to life. Guided by ancient wisdom, timeless stories and contemporary discussion, this book encompasses my quest to never stop asking: Why are we really here?
Join my lifelong journey through my newsletter, Citoyens du Monde. I hope to leave a positive impact with every step I take.
The way we see the world reflects our inner landscape. It's that landscape we must strive to navigate and understand.
