Nozawa Onsen - The Perfect Recovery After Tokyo Summit

After wrapping up the HOLOLIFE Summit Tokyo, my team was running on empty. So we escaped to Nozawa Onsen for two days - no laptops, just hot springs, incredible sushi, and the kind of bonding that actually matters. Here's why this mountain village became our team's special place.

This collaborative energy flowed directly to the table in a menu designed to nourish both body and spirit, featuring dishes like Wild Salmon with fermented beets and nettle pesto, Grilled Tenderloin of Elk, and a "Forest Decoction X" of medicinal mushrooms and tonic herbs to finish.

Upgraded Offsite Samurai Island Helsinki 2024

Samurai Island: A Journey of Renewal in Finland’s Archipelago

Following the powerful experience of the Biohacker Summit Helsinki 2024, I embarked on a transformative offsite retreat to Samurai Island, located in Finland’s stunning archipelago, Stra Herro. This secluded island retreat was unlike any other, offering a perfect blend of nature, mindfulness, and ancient samurai philosophy.

Upgraded Offsite Helsinki 2022

The Upgraded Offsite

After Biohacker Summit Helsinki, we embarked on an epic upgraded offsite to the world's largest archipelago in front of Finland. This is where ancient Finns used to pay their taxes to the king with seal fat and salted herring. They survived on fishing and the gifts from nature, and we were there to immerse ourselves in the exact beautiful nature and sea that provided them with sustenance.

First time in Lapland

I didn’t expect to go for upgraded offsite, however, Teemu invited us to this fantastic offsite trip a day before! My wife and I were not prepared for Lapland weather, but thanks to many bits of help, we got all the gears we need and made it. Even though most of our time we spent in Finland was in Helsinki, just one-night experience in Lapland was beyond the above and an unforgettable experience in my life. I am so glad to write this blog as I try to remember what we did there.
