What is An Ordinary Odyssey about?

An Ordinary Odyssey tells the story of how we all seek to find ourselves and the place where we belong in a complex world of thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences.

Above all, An Ordinary Odyssey will warm your heart and will encourage you to look at your own life journey and ask yourself the questions that are relevant to you.
