After living a monotonous life, commuting for 3 hours a day, getting all the new viruses available, confused and tired; decision time hit my life. Traveled for 3 months in search of answers and guidance. It was Chichijima were the flow took us to and now it is our home. Time has stopped and now we LIVE life.

Is this real?


There are so many more wonders to be seen in this world..

Three leaves in one. To me it haves the potential of being a good luck leaf ;)
On the way from home to work, with no rush I start to find incredible things.
Slowing down is so good.



Colors and shapes, all hidden in the forest, as soon as you stop and look a bit closer and even a bit closer and a bit slower, realizing it all has life.

happy thank you more please

If you are feeling down or needing of a film that would make you feel greater than you already are, then I recommend you this movie. The soundtrack is amazing, the actors, the characters and the lines are very clever, simple but fun. 
My heart warmed in this cold winter. 
I hope you enjoy it.

A day of work - Heart Rock


Heart Rock
200m above the ocean
The shape of the mountains create a red heart shape. I am standing on top of it so it cannot be seen from this point. It was a beautiful sunny day in Bonin Island's winter day. It has been cloudy and windy for weeks but this day it was a summer day, we got warm from the core. A slow 2 hour walk in the dense forest with gorgeous views of the island and its unique flora.


4 of us 
with our packed lunch



Mission completed: To set up a stop sign for this route, the boys carried this wood logs which seem to be very heavy, I was in charge of tea :)
Finished work ate lunch and had a nap.
On the way back we climbed trees and chatted about the flu and how this walk could have healed any sick person.
