Hello, it’s time to take it slow…

Welcome to yukkuri diary, a log about intentional living and travel. The word, yukkuri ゆっくり, is a Japanese adverb that describes a measured way of taking action i.e. slowly; without haste; leisurely. It’s a word that seems to be imbued with deliberation and it’s a lifestyle that I want to embrace despite the hurriedness of my current circumstances. This newsletter is where I share my everyday life as I embark on a journey of slow living while taking in the beautiful sights the world (or Japan at this point!) has to offer.

About me

Born and raised in Singapore, I’m no stranger to hustling. An educator by profession, I made the decision some years back to step out of full-time and into part-time teaching and I’ve not looked back since. Avid traveler, tech geek and cat lover with a bunch of creative hobbies in rotation. Will not say no to a cup of coffee or tea.
