<p>This past weekend I was lucky enough to meet Denise and Riley at the Furano Freewheeling Cycling Festival.</p><p>Denise and Riley are a young couple who have spent years traveling the world in the pursuit of paradise. Now they think they've found it in Tomamu, Hokkaido.</p><p>They found a lodge that they're going to open in December 2026 and right now they're getting it ready so it aligns with their visions and dreams for the future. It's going to be a place welcoming to artists, travelers, cyclists, skiers, snowboarders, anyone looking for a little adventure.</p><p>In this episode we talk about their travels, why they chose Hokkaido, the process of turning the lodge into their dream, and what it takes to build the kind of life you've been searching for.</p><p>Sometimes you go out for a ride and have no idea where it's going to lead you.
