"When I proposed to her, she said she could only live in an area with a subway," Yosuke jokes while sitting in the kitchen of he and his wife, Yuka's, rural home in southern Japan. The couple met later in life and thought they were set in their ways, until an earthquake hit -- and the boredom, stress (and risks) of city living all came into focus.

Join us in Ep. 34 as we unpack the story behind this creative, persistent, and quite unflappable couple's journey from urban living to something altogether different -- a life where they live off of, well, mostly honeybees. Today they share:

how in the heck they got there;
what drove them to keep at it even when their first two plans failed (you’ll see in the very end, it’s quite a different answer for each of them);
how they made the money work;
and more, including what insights they have for the rest of us looking to make life changes (some of which might surprise you).

And follow their journey on IG @pocotoscana!
