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.

Taking the canoe for a ride









There is a community canoe for locals that you can take out for a ride! (After a year of living here we know about this). So the first time we heard of it we decided to go to town for our shopping, crossing the bay instead of taking the car. It was awesome! It took us 45min each way but carrying the canoe up the beach took us 15 min each way. (OH BOY IT IS HEAVY FOR TWO)

Next time we took it for a fishing-beach hunting day. We found this secluded beach and had lunch. We fished on the way but guess what! we forgot the bate... :(
We relaxed for a bit and took some delicious sun while enjoying the view.

It was all great but to tell you the truth, once we got out of the bay the currents were really strong, we paddled and paddled and wouldn't go anywhere. Tired, but definitely worth it!

Little Chickens


They were born around 3 months ago and for some reason we have semi-adopted them. Whenever we have some delicious leftovers we feed it to them, but it has been hard to teach them the boundaries. They are definitely not like dogs or cats, they don't like me coming closer and they peck my toes when they are really hungry. When we take off our house doors they even decide to barge in and see if with their charm I can get them some food from the fridge. It has been really interesting observing what kind of food they like and dislike. They hate oranges but love oats and rice! (must have guessed that)
