For some years Jonathan Reggio worked his way around the world. This story is based on his own experiences in Japan. Jonathan now lives with his family in the Lake District.

A beautiful and life changing story of one man's refusal to go along with the madness of the modern world. By turns poetic, wise and entertaining, this clear, concise gem of a book will leave even the busiest reader with the itch to slow down, to plant something, to go on a long journey, and to raise their eyes to the horizon. -- Chris Cleave, author of The Other Hand
