Today I am using my trusty Dutch oven, and now I realize that I will miss it when I am back home in Japan! 🇳🇱❤️🇯🇵

In the Netherlands, I cherished cooking with my Dutch oven – it was easy, convenient, and made my meals healthier. 🍲💪

However, in our new Japanese home, my Dutch oven is just too big and heavy to bring along, and our kitchen doesn’t have a big enough electric oven to fit it in. 🏠😔

But on the bright side, in Japan, I have the conveniences and joy of bento boxes, – a time-saving and scrumptious delight! 🍱🇯🇵

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

Here you’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 — 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 you’re curious about life in Japan, learning new skills at your own pace, or finding a calmer, more intentional way forward, you’re in the right place.
