Our Story
We didn’t start Pure Life Podcast to collect landmarks. We started it to understand places.
From growing up in Tokyo to building a life in Singapore and now the US, raising a family, snorkeling remote reefs, and driving back roads in search of local food and quiet neighborhoods, travel for us has always been about rhythm, culture, and connection.
Pure Life Podcast shares what guidebooks often miss: everyday neighborhoods, family-run restaurants, coastal highways, regional traditions, and moments that make places feel human. If travel matters to you beyond photo-ops, you’ll feel right at home here.
Pure Freedom. Pure Fun. Pure Life.
