POV: you’re in a remote corner of Rondônia, eating dangerously good food, petting fluffy animals, swimming under waterfalls, and somehow every new friend you make turns out to be a doctor 😂

I want to thank everyone who believed in the Pomegranate Project. It started as a small dream —to help people who study and work hard get a real chance to experience Japan, even just for a short time. This year’s winner, Kenza, had never left her country before. When we started, she didn’t even have a passport. We spent weeks preparing nearly twenty documents for her visa —a long process we faced together, step by step. Many said it would be too difficult. Some told me to give the chance to someone from a Western country instead. But I couldn’t accept that. I knew how much she had worked for this, and I believed that if we did everything carefully and honestly, she’d make it. And she did. Kenza came to Tokyo, studied Japanese at the Coto Language Academy in Shibuya, and spent two months discovering the world she had always dreamed of. Seeing her here — learning, growing, and finding her place — was one of the proudest moments of my life. I write this now while my own visa has expired, unsure if I’ll be allowed to stay in Japan. But maybe that’s what the Pomegranate Project really means —doing what you can, even when you’re unsure, and believing that hard work should never be limited by where you’re born. ❤️

-what about his personality? -Hideyoshi was born a farmer. Although he came from a peasant background, his immense power earned him the rank and title of Kampaku (imperial regent) etc… he was hardworking and stubborn. -I want to wear his armour @samurai.pic

When people ask me what my hon-gyō (real job) is… In Tokyo? I try my best Wendy. 🍔 One day, I’m squeezing pomegranate juice on customers (for a doc series—yes, really). Other days, I’m writing, editing, and plotting my next escape. 9-to-5? Never met her. 🚀

Sunrises that paint the mountains gold, and sunsets that set the dust aglow… riding here felt like chasing the sky’s masterpiece. Each dawn brought a promise of adventure, each dusk a moment to breathe in the raw beauty of Laos. The unpaved roads were challenging, but nothing compares to seeing the sun dip behind rugged peaks, casting shadows over the villages below 🏍️

25 years ago, I was a 3 year old child travelling with my family in Laos. My words and experiences captured in a diary read: roads so dusty I could barely breathe, wooden benches on open trucks, and gripping tight to keep from falling. Now, I’m back in Laos. The roads have changed, but not by much—the holes, the dust, and the chaos are still here. Only now, the only thing I hold onto is myself. Each weekday should feel like this—filled with adventure, nature, colours, motorcycling, climbing, meeting people, swimming…. All stuff that makes you feel alive

Sometimes I wish I could see Tokyo again for the first time. To stand at Shibuya Crossing, swallowed by its chaos, and feel the city’s pulse for the first time. To hear a language I barely understood but somehow already felt in my bones. Tokyo didn’t just change me—it became a part of me. It’s the bow I give without thinking, the hum of a vending machine in the still of night, the strange comfort I find in its endless motion. I wouldn’t be me without Tokyo, though it will always be Tokyo without me. But sometimes, I wonder if it feels my echo.

Getting my A motorcycle license in the quiet countryside of Niigata was one of the most intense, emotional, and rewarding experiences of my life. For two weeks, I lived on a campus with strict rules and curfews, fully surrendering to a world that felt so different yet oddly comforting. My room was spotless, cleaned every three days, and the meals were simple but filling—rice and miso soup three times a day, so much of it I thought I’d never want either again. The training was tough, sometimes brutal. The ipponbashi, a narrow elevated balance beam we had to cross on the motorcycle, brought back memories of my childhood on the gymnastics beam—the same shaky hands, the same fight for balance, but now on a 224kg machine instead of my own two feet. It wasn’t the beam but a sharp curve during practice where I dropped the bike, the sound of its weight hitting the asphalt cutting through me like failure. But lifting it back up on my own, as the instructor watched silently from a distance, gave me a quiet, unforgettable moment of triumph. Some instructors were kind, but others pushed us to the edge, treating us like schoolkids. One made me cry harder than anything I’d faced at Cambridge, but somehow, I came out stronger. In the evenings, I walked to the nearby beach to watch the sunsets over the Sea of Japan. The golden light dipping into the horizon was breathtaking, a reminder of why I’d come to this quiet, beautiful place. On the day we received our certificates for passing the test, the instructor gave a quirky PowerPoint presentation on local souvenirs and foods, describing in detail what to buy at the station. For ten minutes, we listened to him explain the best snacks and specialties under 1000 yen—a strangely charming finale to such a challenging experience. Everything about this place felt so profoundly Japanese. By the end, I had made friends, shed tears, and maybe discovered a strength I never knew I had. Ps if you can read Japanese, I know I put the protections the other way round

Tokyo moves at such a relentless pace—I returned only a few weeks ago, but it feels like a hundred lives have passed. Mornings start with folding up the futon, maybe a bowl of miso soup, closing the paper sliding doors, and vacuuming the tatami like Kirby on a mission. And despite endless iCloud upgrades, storage somehow stays full. But here’s a moment worth saving: the Jimbocho Book Festival. Jimbocho, Tokyo’s beloved book haven, was filled with strangers leafing through the fresh pages of the fourth print of my book—some buying, some putting it back, a few even stopping to chat and snap a photo. A thrilling Tokyo moment in the heart of everyday life.

From the winding trails of Val Trebbia to the open roads of Switzerland and France, and onward to London, this past month has been a dance with the unexpected. Our bags got burnt, we stumbled through quiet fields, yet always pressed on. Alone on Elba’s shores, I traced the island’s edges by scooter, then crossed vast waters to Sicily, cycling through its sun-soaked streets, and onto Favignana and Tunisia’s wild landscapes. The journey never really ends—that’s why my friends and I call it Estate infinita. Perhaps we travel not to arrive, but to chase the endless longing for what remains just beyond our reach.
