Exclusive: Tom Brady on the NFL Player He'd Choose to Sit With on a Long-Haul Flight-and One Destination That Stuck With Him
Briefly

Tom Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, is now in his second year of retirement, focusing on meaningful travel. He is committed to calling games for FOX and traveling to familiar NFL cities while also exploring new destinations. Brady expresses a desire to experience different cultures and slow down from his previously tight travel schedules. A recent trip to Japan with his kids taught him about the rich culture and the concept of ikigai, meaning ‘reason for being,’ which deepened his appreciation for life and travel.
These days, I'm really drawn to places that offer something totally different from my day-to-day... whether it's a new culture, a different language, or just a vibe I've never experienced before.
The culture there is just so rich and thoughtful, everything from the way people treat each other to how traditions are honored.
There's this amazing concept I learned about called ikigai, which basically means your 'reason for being.' That really stuck with me... it made me think a lot about purpose and what truly brings meaning to life.
Experiencing that with my kids, and seeing it all through their eyes, made the whole experience even more special.
