Rest day

Aso

Celebrating my 67th birthday!

Celebrating my 67th birthday!

Estimated arrival date: May 25, 2027
371 km walked - 2,551 km left to go


Ideally, I do not walk over 25 km per day. On this stretch, all 7 stages were above 25 km and 2 stages were above 30 km 😓.

I deserve a big cake for my birthday 🎂

Meet and share

After several days on the road, I want this rest day to be about more than physical recovery and laundry 😅.

I hope to meet some local residents, share stories and talk about the people who helped us go further. With permission, I may also record a few individual conversations for Japan 2027.

If you would like to take part or help make it happen, write to me at contact@wtft.life.

What stayed with me

Walking creates time for ordinary moments to become questions.

After I arrive, I will share insights from this part of the journey that challenged an assumption, changed how I saw something or revealed a possibility I had not considered.

Through local eyes

I am looking for someone local who can help me see beyond a visitor's first impression, ideally a bilingual content creator who shares the desire to celebrate the people who believed in us.

You would help me understand the area, introduce me to people worth meeting and share this part of the journey with your community.

In return, you will be featured as the local voice of Japan 2027 in your area, with your profile and work shared through the campaign.

Interested? Write to me at contact@wtft.life.
