Amidst the serene beauty of Paradise, where the azure Pacific meets lush forests, I have encountered kindred spirits on their quest for a unique existence. Allow me to introduce you to Martin and Chiharu, a dynamic duo embarking on a journey of a lifetime and who have chosen to forge their own unique path. Their lives and my current period of forced confinement remind me of a lesson for life that my mother taught me using Italian Dressing as a metaphor. Separate they are unpleasant and unpalpable but when shaken, they momentarily become a pleasant combination adding flavor.

Thanks to Martin and Chiharu for the extra video and stills you shared
