Build a life you love.
There are nine million abandoned houses in Japan. We’re saving $100,000 to go buy one.
I’m Selene. In 2020 I had never picked up a power tool. Since then, I’ve renovated our entire house, sold it, and I’m about to do the whole thing again on the other side of the world.
I show the measurements, the real costs, and the parts I get wrong. No gatekeeping here.
Start with the $100K Plan. It’s the ten things actually getting us there, on one page, with every link in one place.

“DIY isn’t a talent, it’s a skill.
And you’re completely capable of learning it.”
A few years ago I didn’t know how to use a drill. Next February we’re moving to Japan to buy an abandoned house and renovate it ourselves, and I’m going to show you all of it.
Build plans, real project costs, and the tools worth buying first. Everything I wish someone had handed me on day one.
This is the moment you stop doubting yourself and start creating the home you’ve always wanted. Join me and let’s DIY together!
