I came across a fellow Swiss blogger in Japan, and his story is fascinating! ๐ŸŒ Rolf Wietlisbach-Kobayashi has been living in Japan for over 27 years! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Interestingly, he met his Japanese wife during his studies in the UK. In my case, I met my Japanese wife in the Netherlands in 2017, and after living there together for 5 years, we made the move to Japan.

I reached out to Rolf, and I’m hoping to connect with him soon, either in person or through a conversation. ๐Ÿค Check out his blog at https://www.swissguyinjapan.com/, where I discovered many of his detailed and insightful posts on topics similar to mine. His writing delves deep into the intricacies of the subjects, unlike my shorter, easy-to-read blog style.

If you enjoy getting into the nitty-gritty of things, Rolf’s blog is definitely worth a read! ๐Ÿ“š

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.
