Machiko's Diary

Machiko was born on the small volcanic island of Oshima off the southeast coast of Japan. Always an avid traveller, meeting her husband while exploring the USA and Canada she married and moved to Britain, eventually settling in the Scottish Highlands. In 2005 she was diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of cancer. With possibly only months to live she set off around the world on one final epic adventure. This is her remarkable story.
