Leaving Wahine for a few days and swapping ocean waves for academic ones.
I’m heading to Tokyo for another IAFOR conference — this one focused on education, with nearly 800 delegates from 65 countries.

IAFOR (The International Academic Forum — https://iafor.org) is a global, multicultural, interdisciplinary network that convenes scholars from around the world to advance research, dialogue, and innovation.

I’ll also be meeting Professor Jim McNally, one of the world’s leading gerontologists and a beta reader for my new book. Looking forward to deep conversations on longevity… but first, a row to shore. 🚣‍♂️🌏

See you soon, Wahine.
Tokyo, here we go. Check out @IaforOrg
