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.

Aubergine - Eggplant?

There is an aubergine tree in our garden, planted a year ago. I heard that they will give us fruit for almost 3 years, so this must be the second one. We fed the plant our poo compost and it gave us many aubergines. I picked an aubergine the other day and made a breaded parmesan sandwiched aubergine! It was delicious :)

A wild mango!

It is the battle of life - survival of the fittest

Gardening, sustainable living, real life sounds beautiful and it is, but it is not easy.
It is all painted as the goal of this era (in eco world) but it requires of many many sacrifices. 
To start with, I don't use shampoo or good smelling soap, which means that I walk around with a very wild smell. As much as I smell myself and feel fine, I know that I don't smell "normal" anymore. 
Next, when people come to our house and want to go the toilet, they scream! yes, it is only a hole on earth and instead of flushing you cover it with leaves.
Ohhh there are so many things but at the end of the day, I have a huge smile of content.

A new challenge:
It is the season of this hairy worm that eats leaves! If it rubs your skin it irritates you...
Well, this sweet little ones have invaded our aubergine tree, so I had to get chopsticks and fight them!



In the ocean - the other world- the other ones


Today after gardening and planting beans oh! I forgot to water the plants! 
As I was saying... after gardening on a very hot day, I decided to go for a refreshing swim at Copepe Beach.
The water is getting warmer as the days pass, but at the bottom you can still feel the remains of cold water.
The beach was solitary as usual and the sun was giving light to all the scenery reflecting their true colors to my eyes.
