Do you ever find yourself wondering...What the heck should I do with my life? How will I know when I meet the right partner? Would I truly be happier if I could quit my job and go backpacking in Bali? Alla Polsky traveled around the world for seven years in search of such answers. From diving with sharks in the Philippines to meditating with a shaman in Guatemala to running a hostel in Mexico, she found exactly what she needed in the places she least expected. Lost & Found is part memoir, part compass for navigating the disorienting scavenger hunt of life. You don’t need to drink ayahuasca in the Amazon to find yourself. Nor sit quietly in a cave to have a spiritual awakening. Less work, more fun. Less searching, more finding. You are closer than you think.About theAlla Polsky is a writer, artist, yoga teacher, and arguably the world’s least annoying Millennial. Rarely taking selfies or overpaying for avocado toast, Alla was an analog nomad long before a digital one. Born in Belarus, raised in Texas, schooled in California, and overworked in New York, she then slow-traveled through 22 countries and found home in Guatemala, where she runs a spiritual center called The Black Lotus with her partner and several feline Zen masters.
