It was such a blessing to have stayed at Akiko’s place for a month. The people, the community, the meditation and yoga, the rain, the trees, the food and the whole experience — you definitely won’t find everything go according to your expectation (as is the same for all things in life), but if you’re willing to open, to listen and observe, to let go and adapt, you’ll find your stay there to be one of the most memorable experiences in your life. Thank you Akiko for hosting me and us. Mahalo!
