We’ve currently landed in Rochester, MN. I wasn’t too excited about this mini-metro in a corn field, but “wherever you go, there you are”. Rochester offers all the conveniences of a big city with awesome bike paths, natural spaces, and some pretty good healthcare.

If you hear this quote used in discussions about mental health, meditation, or presence, it is almost certainly referencing Jon Kabat-Zinn. He used it as the title of his bestselling 1994 book, Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life. In this context, it means you cannot run away from yourself or your problems by changing your location; your mind, habits, and unresolved issues will follow you wherever you travel.
