Japan & South Korea 2027 — Explore What’s Next

🇯🇵 Your Midlife Adventure Starts Here

Japan has been on the wish list for long enough. Now it’s time to explore what’s next and combine two incredible Asian countries together.

SwitchLife Travel is putting together an intimate 3 week adventure for just 10–12 midlife travellers, designed for singles and/or couples who want to experience Japan & South Korea with great company, plenty of discovery and none of the stress of travelling alone.

Think Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hakone and Mt Fuji — from neon-lit city streets and ancient temples to beautiful landscapes, Japanese culture, incredible food and those unforgettable moments you simply can’t plan.

Think kimchi, tea houses, quirky markets, Hanok buildings, Olympic park, tradition, and palaces in South Korea.

🗾 2.5 - 3 weeks in Japan & South Korea
👫 10–12 travellers
❤️ Midlife couples & singles welcome
🏯 Tokyo • Kyoto • Osaka • Nara • Hakone • Mt Fuji
🇰🇷 Seoul, Gangnam, Gyeongju living museum, ornamental palaces, + South Korea’s longest suspension bridge & so much more.

This won’t be a huge bus tour. It will be a small-group SwitchLife experience, created for people who want to see Japan, connect with like-minded travellers and make some memories along the way.

✈️ Day 42 / 90 days of incredible rewards and results.

The project choice on S90 Elite can be quite vital. The project we choose can be thought of as a major or even mini goal. Setting goals is a driver. Not achieving them can hinder us for years.

By the time we reach our 50’s we really should have remarkable milestones to look back on. But what if we still have a few left and our personal “remarkables” are yet to come.

Ones that were forgotten or half done and are either still there physically tucked in a drawer or mentally scratching at us to finish (or at least attempt to finish).

I personally don’t function well with pressure. I am competitive with myself but any pressure I feel from outside I backpedal.

I also have unfinished projects I initially set as goals years ago.

Unfinished education training.
Unfinished photo albums to put together.
Unfinished marathon training (planter fasciitis came knocking 🏃🏽‍♀️)
Unfinished garage decluttering 🤯.
The list goes on.

Goals need structure.
They need a plan.

Hold that thought though because they also need motivation AND a big reason as to WHY.

Purpose is a biggie.
Humans love to feel a purpose.
It’s actually one of our human needs.
A purpose (aka a reason, aka a goal) gives us drive.

On our S90 Elite, we ask you to feel purpose via a chosen project. This project is foundation to future projects (future goal planning, future purpose). Never any pressure. No backpedaling.

The project can be old or new. The purpose of this in itself is fundamental to experiencing personal breakthroughs.

My own project this time round was to show up everyday for myself. I set myself a goal EVERY. SINGLE. DAY for 90 days PLUS to film myself being strong.

As a new half empty nester I’ve been struggling so I needed a back up for myself. The framework of S90 Elite provides this. It has my back and THIS is as vital as the project choice itself. I put my trust all in to KEEP me VISIBLE to ME!

I see myself more clearly when I travel.

I travel extensively to countries where my first language is not widely spoken. We always get by.

I often wonder what our global cultures and communities would be like if we all spoke one universal language 🧐.

I lived in Thailand as an exchange student for a year. I was 17(so young!). I went to the local school. I eventually learned to speak Thai and embraced Thai dance. I was fully immersed, I thrived! I also changed alot and saw things and grew up about 10 years ahead of my friends back in Australia at the time.

I love myself when I travel because I feel free.The people in these countries teach me, unknowingly, that the world can get along. It brings hope back onto the plate and I thrive on this.

When I created the "S90 Elite" 90 Day Challenge 10 years ago now, it became an important part of my daily routine.

The S90 Challenge will definitely challenge and test anyone's mental agility AND perception of endurance; because the task of the daily mantra is repetitive. The project of choice is significant.

And that's the point.
Every day for 90 days.
Repetition.
Significance.

I live by own mantra. Here it is so you can get an idea when you create yours.

My mantra PLUS 👉 5 steps PLUS 👉consistency = PERSONAL MENTAL SUCCESS!

"I Penelope am adventurous in body, mind and soul. I am humourous and sparkly and I create, achieve and lead others into a universe of oneness that develops all love through strength and provision".

⬆️ It only makes sense to me.
➡️ Your mantra will to you too.

Next .....

These 5 steps on repeat EVERYDAY👇
1)Doing one thing for ourselves that nobody can take away to reinforce self-autonomy & self awareness.

2)Include the freedom to self-improve so we don't feel or act misunderstood.

3)Remain kind if by chance we feel challenged, cheated or disrupted by others.

4)Remember language is not the barrier, trusting ourselves is.

5)Feeling self-safe is a bare minimum need.

If you're feeling a bit in-directional, stuck, stressed, alone or need some fire igniting in your belly again reach out privately or comment S90 ELITE 🔥 and I’ll personally set you up and you’ll become part of the Elite S90 Cohort!

🇻🇳 Ba Na Hills Danang, Vietnam

An hour drive from HoiAn. Less if you’re staying in actual Danang.

1437 metres above sea level lives a whole other world.

It’s for everyone.
A bit of a trek, and it’s definitely worth every effort and step.

Disclaimer: if you’re scared of heights or suffer vertigo it may not be ideal. Totally your call. The only way up and then down is via the cable car system. The longest cable car in the world! 🚠 🚠

🇻🇳It’s kinda like a mini Europe up there.

🇻🇳It holds a certain magic.

NOTE! It’s VERY, VERY BUSY. All the tourists are touristing right next to you! Be prepared 💪.

An absolute MUST once in a lifetime experience. Bucket list needs ticking ✅

I say GO!

Early morning is optimal for less crowded areas particularly the Golden Bridge.

Ahhhhh Vietnam, so many treasures to experience. Thank you Vietnam 🇻🇳🙏🏻.

✅ Next tour invitation out soon! I hosted 10 ladies on this tour to Vietnam.

It's time to switch pace. Share the personal performance. Because this is REAL.

I returned from Vietnam a week ago and I’ve hit the ground running. So many aha moments and so much to be proud of and so many (women and men) to applaud.

In my late 50's now and as friends are being diagnosed left right and centre with illnesses and incurable diseases - life does NOT get any more REAL than this.

I had to begin my own S90 challenge again. As much as it irks me. Start from day 1 again.

Time on my own as this half empty nester is forcing me to switch gears. I recently gave myself time to get clearer on exactly what the heck I want for this last quarter of my life. So I paused my own S90. Which isn't actually how it works.

For the first time in a VERY LONG TIME I'm sitting with myself, surveying life. Realising much of it I have lived for others and not for me.

I'm realistic I've gone past 'midlife' as such, I know I won't live until I'm 120, so I switch gears faster these days. Time is simply of the essence now.

S90 is my everything. I've been on the pathway for 10 years. I LOVE it. I've built my personal and professional empires with it. My success is prominent because of my S90 Pathway.

It used to really p**s me off when I missed a day. Day 1 again meant I had failed myself.

I actually hate that word.
Failure. Failure. Failure 👉Let's abolish it.

Feeling like a failure kept pushing me to fail more. It did the reverse as to why I was on S90 challenge to begin with.

Being on the Switched90 'S90 pathway' helps me gain clarity I need to be ok with Day 31 of 90 (my original start date), and Day 1 of 90 ( my latest start date). Absolutely no failure!

S90 is like my bestie who has my back without ever failing at anything. I know I can start as many Day 1's as I need to.

Our late 50's is a switch of everything.
Switch of pace.
Switch of lifestyle.
Switch of health.
Switch of relationships.
Switch of responsibilities.

Embarking on a challenge and committing to SELF (ourselves) takes time BUT at midlife time is more precious.

THIS is as real as it all gets. I indeed do my BEST work on my own and S90 is my hero. My life is easier when I'm on the pathway.

If you're feeling unsettled, feeling alone (or are infact alone) and not coping so well, a tad lonely or would love more adventures in your life space (I’ve got sooooo many adventures to keep you occupied 😅), please comment SWITCH.

I got you.
