Travel Diaries

Tracking Turtles is a personal diary of our trip to Costa Rica to work with sea turtles. My nine year old son and I spent a week at a turtle project on the Pacific Coast. We learned about conservation, recycling, plastics in our environment and we learned a lot about the Olive Ridley sea turtle. We learned about nesting, hatching and how fishing impacts these animals. You can read about our adventure. Perhaps you will be inspired to go on a conservation trip yourself. $1.00 from each book sold will go to conservation projects like Turtle Trax. The current version is still having final edits...

Marriage in Japan I went out for lunch with my partner at a cafe the other day that stood across the train station in a Japanese desolate rural town where I live. To call it a cafe is a bit too fancy. It’s not the likes of Starbucks but rather a small old mom-and-pop diner that was built well over 30 years ago and remained as it was, which perfectly matched this old town itself. We sat at the table and overheard a conversation from the table next to us. Three old women in their eighties sat around the table by the window. “She has passed away, too.” “This could be the last time we ...

Dear Reader, This book was not supposed to happen.

This is not a story about chosen ones. It’s a story about accidental ones—about what happens when kids with big hearts and bigger imaginations fall into a world that ...
