Missing the tranquil beauty of nature ๐Ÿƒย 

Just three weeks left until I return to Japan!ย 

I long for those weekend hikes, breathing in the earthy aroma of the soil and the woody fragrances of the forests.

The soothing sounds of murmuring rivers and rushing waterfalls are dearly missed.

But for now, my focus is on wrapping up work in the Netherlands before heading back to the land of the rising sun. ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต

This blog is for thoughtful adults who are starting again โ€” in learning, creativity, or life โ€” and want to grow steadily without noise or pressure.

Here youโ€™ll find daily reflections and practical guides shaped by lived experience. The focus is on learning through doing: building consistency, adapting to change, and finding clarity in everyday practice.

The stories and guides here come from real processes โ€” creative experiments, hands-on projects, life in rural Japan, working with nature, and learning new skills step by step. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is polished for performance. The aim is steady progress, honest reflection, and practical insight you can actually use.

If youโ€™re curious about life in Japan, learning new skills at your own pace, or finding a calmer, more intentional way forward, youโ€™re in the right place.
