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.

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!
