To Shake the Sleeping Self: A Journey from Oregon to Patagonia, and a Quest for a Life with No Regret Free Audiobook Download by Jedidiah Jenkins


In this audiobook, author Jedidiah Jenkins talks about his journey to Patagonia and the process of getting there. His journey started with a search for meaning in life. He traveled from his home in Portland, Oregon to the Andes Mountains in Argentina. After moving through South America and eventually arriving at sea level in Patagonia, he has become more fulfilled. Now he wants others to enjoy the same process and derive their own meaning from it.

Jedidiah Jenkins has been on a journey, or as he calls it "a quest" to find the perfect way to live his life. Along with a friend, Jedidiah's idea was to leave the comforts of their home in Oregon and travel south across the US and into South America to find the ultimate adventure. The two friends end up crashing on a stranger's couch for about two months before deciding that this is not what they wanted. They decide to return home but then go on another journey: one that starts at their door and takes them around the world starting with Vietnam. Jedidiah's journey is truly unique in each country he visits as he learns about different cultures and traditions, while also trying out new sports and activities. In fact, he calls his book "A Quest for Adventure" because of all his adventures he takes. Though they are scared of what they might find when they get back home, they are certain that there will be no regrets in their lives after leaving the comforts of their own states.

Randomly finding himself in Patagonia, Jedidiah Jenkins hopped on a plane and set off on a journey to find his purpose. As he was packing for his trip, he asked himself, "What will I do?" In search of the answer, Jedidiah Jenkins traveled 8,000 miles from Oregon to Patagonia. He ended up meeting a woman that finally gave him the answer; it was in her eyes.
